LPGA-USGA clubs giving golfing girls a head start. Jennifer Mario's 'A Girl's-Eye View' column at TravelGolf.com.
February 19, 2007 (Press Release) --
Sometimes I get a little jealous.
It's not other women I'm jealous of - this time, it's little girls. Little girls in my neighboring town of Winston-Salem, N.C., to be specific.
Why? Because they have something I don't have - an LPGA-USGA Girls Golf Club. Starting next month, aspiring young golfers in Winston-Salem will have a club of their own, a club designed to give 7- to 17-year-old girls the chance to learn, golf and compete with their peers
have an 8-year-old daughter and other than the occasional lesson or trip to the driving range at our local golf course, she gets far too little exposure to the greatest game.
Club members in Winston-Salem get a free monthly clinic, discounted weekly golf lessons and two summer camps, plus the chance to compete in their own six-tournament players tour.
I live two hours away, and I'm seriously considering shipping my daughter to Winston-Salem so she can join up.
Sure, kids in my area can get golf lessons at local clubs, and even find spots in summer junior camps. But the LPGA-USGA club operates March through November. It means girls have a place to play and someone to play with eight months a year. It means cheap lessons (good for me) and lots of golf buddies (good for her).
