1:00 PM - 2:00 PM    Junior Golf Lessons - First Swings Golf Clinic
Learn the game of Golf with Go Golf Academy PGA Instructors Josh Detmer & Brandon Deggins.  In this 5 session clinic, players can take their golf game to the next level or learn the game of golf for the first time.  This clinic is fit for both novice and experienced players! All classes are held at Fairways Golf Range (19 Tipping Drive Branford CT 06405) First Swings Golf Clinic:  Entry level group instruction centered around the basics.  This is a program for juniors that are new to golf or haven't received much instruction.  The "First Swings" program is essentially the same as we do in the fall.  Juniors work from the U.S. Kids Curriculum used in our full blown academy where there is a list of different skills needed to progress forward.  Each session has a theme. These themes are centered around the basics of the golf swing.  Juniors are also exposed to topics such as etiquette, parts of the golf course and general strategy such as aim and light course management.   Junior Golf Mastery Clinic: This program is for juniors that have received a bit of instruction and understand the basics.  The idea behind this group is that juniors have "graduated" from "First Swings" to "Junior Golf Mastery."  These juniors already possess the knowledge of grip, aim and setup and need more golf swing instruction.  The sessions still have a specific topic dedicated to each meeting.  Juniors also do some light course management through our Trackman Simulator.  These course management sessions are in a group/team environment.  There is a goal the group must achieve that may or may not be tied to scoring.  The overall idea is to get juniors thinking more like golfers.  Summer Camps: Register today through PGA's website by clicking here. Registration for Summer Camps is NOT through Parks & Rec!!

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM    Junior Golf Lessons - First Swings Golf Clinic
Learn the game of Golf with Go Golf Academy PGA Instructors Josh Detmer & Brandon Deggins.  In this 5 session clinic, players can take their golf game to the next level or learn the game of golf for the first time.  This clinic is fit for both novice and experienced players! All classes are held at Fairways Golf Range (19 Tipping Drive Branford CT 06405) First Swings Golf Clinic:  Entry level group instruction centered around the basics.  This is a program for juniors that are new to golf or haven't received much instruction.  The "First Swings" program is essentially the same as we do in the fall.  Juniors work from the U.S. Kids Curriculum used in our full blown academy where there is a list of different skills needed to progress forward.  Each session has a theme. These themes are centered around the basics of the golf swing.  Juniors are also exposed to topics such as etiquette, parts of the golf course and general strategy such as aim and light course management.   Junior Golf Mastery Clinic: This program is for juniors that have received a bit of instruction and understand the basics.  The idea behind this group is that juniors have "graduated" from "First Swings" to "Junior Golf Mastery."  These juniors already possess the knowledge of grip, aim and setup and need more golf swing instruction.  The sessions still have a specific topic dedicated to each meeting.  Juniors also do some light course management through our Trackman Simulator.  These course management sessions are in a group/team environment.  There is a goal the group must achieve that may or may not be tied to scoring.  The overall idea is to get juniors thinking more like golfers.  Summer Camps: Register today through PGA's website by clicking here. Registration for Summer Camps is NOT through Parks & Rec!!

1:00 PM - 2:00 PM    Junior Golf Lessons - First Swings Golf Clinic
Learn the game of Golf with Go Golf Academy PGA Instructors Josh Detmer & Brandon Deggins.  In this 5 session clinic, players can take their golf game to the next level or learn the game of golf for the first time.  This clinic is fit for both novice and experienced players! All classes are held at Fairways Golf Range (19 Tipping Drive Branford CT 06405) First Swings Golf Clinic:  Entry level group instruction centered around the basics.  This is a program for juniors that are new to golf or haven't received much instruction.  The "First Swings" program is essentially the same as we do in the fall.  Juniors work from the U.S. Kids Curriculum used in our full blown academy where there is a list of different skills needed to progress forward.  Each session has a theme. These themes are centered around the basics of the golf swing.  Juniors are also exposed to topics such as etiquette, parts of the golf course and general strategy such as aim and light course management.   Junior Golf Mastery Clinic: This program is for juniors that have received a bit of instruction and understand the basics.  The idea behind this group is that juniors have "graduated" from "First Swings" to "Junior Golf Mastery."  These juniors already possess the knowledge of grip, aim and setup and need more golf swing instruction.  The sessions still have a specific topic dedicated to each meeting.  Juniors also do some light course management through our Trackman Simulator.  These course management sessions are in a group/team environment.  There is a goal the group must achieve that may or may not be tied to scoring.  The overall idea is to get juniors thinking more like golfers.  Summer Camps: Register today through PGA's website by clicking here. Registration for Summer Camps is NOT through Parks & Rec!!
