The game of golf can be many things; amusing, frustrating, challenging, addicting, comical, and sometimes maddening. Yes, golf can take on many different characteristics, which makes it such a great sport! We are excited to continue our Junior Golf Program here at Casper Municipal Golf Course, and look forward to growing the game through the next generation of golfers.
JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAM 2023
The Muni’s golf staff would like to welcome everyone for an exciting education and fun golf experience. Our goal is to provide a fun, safe, and exciting atmosphere while upholding the rules and etiquette of this great game. Throughout the six-week program we will emphasize rules, etiquette and the fundamentals of all aspects pertaining to golf. We encourage parent/ legal guardian participation at our clinics. The Junior Golf Program will be every Thursday for six-weeks and is for students 5-17. To provide a top-level golf clinic we ask that kids be on their best behavior for the hour they are here at the golf course. Our program will be on a first come first serve basis in which the first 20 kids will secure a spot. The following is the 2023 schedule for our Junior Golf Camp. Please keep in mind you will sign up for either Beginner, intermediate and advanced. Below are recommendations for each category so see where your child might fall into.
Thursday Clinic Starting Times and Price
Beginner Class- Those Jr. Golfers that are just getting into the game and don’t know the basic swing mechanics.
Intermediate Class- Those Jr. Golfers that are accustomed to the game of golf but may not know all of the swing mechanics, only a few of them.
Advanced Class- Those Jr. Golfers that know all basic swing mechanics but need help improving on them and diving deeper into how those mechanics effect the swing.
**Head Golf Professional is willing to make recommendations if you are unsure of which class to put them in or after the first clinic if legal guardians are okay with it**
