Each golfer may have his or her own golf clubs but is not required.
Each golfer will receive a basic knowledge of how to hit a golf ball and learn to play golf while developing athletically.
Each golfer may be accompanied by a parent or guardian to help learn the basics and ideas on how to train as a family.
Each golfer should arrive at least ten minutes before the designated start time.
There is no need to qualify for this golf program.

Each golfer must have his or her own golf clubs.
Each golfer should feel comfortable playing a round of golf and be reasonably familiar with the rules of golf without any parental aid (swing, rules, etc.)
We've decided to eliminate qualification events for this year, and instead allow players/parents to determine the best division for their golfer with the understanding that we have the flexibility to move the golfer up or down based on how their golf season is progressing.
As a rule of thumb, competitive-level golf divisions often shoot in the 90s or better for 18 holes of golf from age-appropriate yardage.
