JUNIOR LESSON PROGRAM 2008
Starts the week of June 16th
The Junior Lesson Program at Muskego Lakes Country Club is the most popular junior golf program in the Milwaukee area. It has received awards of excellence from the PGA of Wisconsin, Golf Foundation of Wisconsin and the National Golf Course Owners Association. This is due to many factors that include: limited class size, parental involvement, lessons that include playing golf as part of the experience and having the same instructors, Lee Kaczmarek for the past 20 years and Jim Maher for the past 11 years.
Due to the quality of the program, we must offer last year’s participants first right of refusal before we can open up the remaining spots to new participants. A waiting list will be established to define the order of new participant acceptance. After February 1st applications already received from new golfers will be placed in the appropriate classes.
Our Junior Lesson Program is open to children of ages 6 to 17. For those children new to the game and between the ages of 6 & 8 the “Pee Wee” program on Tuesday mornings from 10:00 to 11:30 or Wednesdays from 11:00 to 12:30pm is for them. For those that have been playing for a couple of years or are 8 or older we have classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays called our Beginner or Intermediate Groups. Both groups partake in lessons together but the intermediates play four holes on the regulation course from the forward tees, while the “BEGINNERS” play six holes on our special beginners course. Lesson times for Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday are from 1:00 to 2:10 with golf following on 6 of the eight lessons. To qualify for the ADVANCED group (Tuesdays or Thursdays at 11:45pm) a child must average below 60 for nine holes on a regulation course. This group plays nine holes on our regulation course during six of the eight lessons. The present scoring ability of your child will be used to determine into which of the these groups your child is placed.
If you have a returning player to the program, the postcard you have already received indicates what class level your son/daughter has been assigned to for the upcoming season. Throughout the season, we do move children from one ability level to another within the same day, whether it is because of improvement or a misunderstanding of your child’s skills. The maximum number of students per class is 30 for beginners and intermediates and 20 for each advanced class. If you can not make the lesson on your scheduled day, you can make it up the same week on one of the other days, but you must be willing to agree to score on your child's make-up date. Please contact Kaz for specific makeup days and times.
There are two teachers per class and parents are needed to score-keep for each playing group. This junior program will not succeed without support from the parents. No beginner or intermediate will be allowed to play without an adult scorekeeper for his or her group! Therefore, we need your assistance in this matter. You will be expected to sign up for your scoring date on the application form. Scoring dates are awarded on a first come, first served basis. IF YOU DO NOT SIGN UP FOR A SCORING DATE, ONE WILL BE ASSIGNED FOR YOU! Please check the Web site calendar to be assured your first choice date is available before returning your child’s application. You will be allowed to sign up for additional scoring dates only after the class has been filled and if scoring opportunities remain.

· These kids will have a real treat learning to play golf with a specially designed system for beginners. It is called “Snag Golf”. It is very hard for a younger person to swing a metal club with a small clubface and accomplish much more than contact and the hitting of ground balls. Snag Golf is a full system with training aids. We supply the clubs that have a fiberglass shaft and a plastic head that is four times larger than a regular club. The balls are a smaller version of a tennis ball. This makes for ease of contact and flight. The students use these clubs to learn the golf swing and also to play golf holes. The hole is a Velcro cylinder that the ball will stick to upon contact. There are many teaching aids that we use and for the younger person it is a great way to have fun while learning how to play the game. As the lessons progress, we will then introduce them to real golf clubs and balls. This system will be shown to you at the REQUIRED MEETING for all new registrants. Parents of PeeWee golfers are NOT required to score!
Parent scoring participation is an absolute necessity for the Muskego Lakes Country club Junior Program to be successful. Your assistance with this important facet of our program is greatly appreciated. Failure to show on your scoring date will prevent a foursome of children from playing on that date. Please, you are responsible for obtaining a substitute scorer if you are unable to meet your obligation. PeeWee parents are not required to score!
Parents Meeting: Wednesday May 14th 7:00 PM or Tuesday May 20 at 6:30 PM. Required for parents whose child is new to the program. Optional for parents of returning golfers who may have questions or concerns. The meeting will be held in the upper level banquet hall.
