Emerald is new host course
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of Mid-Michigan begins the 2014 season in a new home: The Emerald Golf Course in St. Johns, Michigan. One of only seven LPGA-UGSA Girls Golf Clubs in Michigan, the Mid-Michigan Club has relocated to The Emerald Golf Course in an effort to better serve the mid and northern Michigan communities.
LPGA-USGA Girls Golf teaches the foundations that allow girls ages 7-17 to grow to love golf, “the game of a lifetime.” The only national initiative of its kind, Girls Golf is administered through a partnership between the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) and the United States Golf Association (USGA), both non-profit 501 (c) (3) charitable organizations.
Girls Golf members receive golf instruction from LPGA Teaching Professionals and other professionally trained golf teachers uniquely equipped to take participants from beginner to advanced players. Girls Golf programs also focus on inspiring girls to feel confident, build positive self-esteem and live active and healthy lifestyles by incorporating “The Five E’s of Girls Golf” into the curriculum: Empower, Enrich, Engage, Exercise, Energize.
The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf national membership is $16. The Mid-Michigan local program fee is $84. National membership is required and allows girls to enroll in our local program. Visit www.jbgolfschool.com and click on “LPGA-USGA Girls Golf” for more information.
