ABAC HOSTS US KIDS’ GOLF CLINIIC

TIFTON—A US Kids’ Golf Clinic will take place on the campus of Abraham Baldwin College, sponsored by ABAC and the Tift County Recreation Department.  Each clinic will be held at the Torbett-Dobrosky Golf Facility. Class size is limited to six students per session. Pre-registration is required.

The beginning level of the clinic, Green Tee – Level One, will take place every Monday from June 5 – 26 from 5:30 – 7 p.m. The fee is $89 and includes a cap, book, and incentive pins. This session is for kids ages 7 – 12. Golf balls and age/size appropriate clubs will be provided. Proper shoes are tennis shoes or soft spiked golf shoes.

This is a model golf program developed with input from PGA and LPGA professionals to help kids develop golf skills. Etiquette, rules, and skills are taught and practiced throughout the course. 

Students can progress at their own speed, but must pass an exam in order to advance to the next level. Students will also receive a coupon for nine holes of golf at the Forest Lakes Golf Course that they can redeem when accompanied by a paying adult.

For more information or to register, contact the Public Service and Business Outreach Center at (229) 391-5070.
