Susie Jacobs, an avid golfer at the Cassville Golf Club, is very excited about the new summer golf camp that has started this year.
Boys and girls from the ages of 6-12 are all welcome to join the camp at the Cassville Golf Course that will be going on for a week in June, a week in July and for two days in August. It is $25 for one clinic, or $60 for all three clinics. Clinics run from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
The camp will break down the basics for the kids starting with grip, aim, setup, putting, chipping, pitching and full swing. Clubs are provided, but if a camp attendee has their own set they are welcome to bring them.
Jacobs said, “We have had about twenty kids sign up for the camp so far.” There are approximately ten volunteers that help with the camp each day. “We think it is good for each kid to have some one-on-one time with an instructor,” said Jacobs.
Jacobs had the idea of starting the golf camp after she heard of a camp that pro golf instructor, Rick Grayson hosts in the Nixa, Springfield and Ozark area.
Jacobs thought it was a great idea and decided Cassville needed a program similar to that. “Our purpose is to get kids more involved and excited about golf. Hopefully we can start a league and more kids will join the Cassville golf team when they get older.”
Jacobs says it takes a little longer for the little kids to get started, but for the most part, they are all catching on fairly quick and really enjoying the camp. “Not only is it fun but it gives the kids lessons on anger management and proper etiquette on the golf course,” said Jacobs.
The Cassville Ladies golf league has recently purchased two thousand dollars worth of golf club sets for the Cassville Elementary and Middle School. The student use them during their P.E. classes, and they’ve received some good feedback from school administration that the kids really enjoy them. This is all in an effort of getting more kids involved in the game of golf.
