Dear Junior Golfers & Parents,
On behalf of the golf staff at Waynesboro Country Club, we would like to
welcome you to the 2015 golf season! And with that comes the Junior Golf
activities of the year. Derrick and I (Matt Love), have many exciting events for
your junior golfers to participate in this spring and summer. Junior’s are a key
component to the golf industry today. Not only are our golfers going to be able to
meet new friends through these programs, but they learn: etiquette, patience,
goodwill, integrity and fairness to name a few. Juniors can take the game of golf
anywhere they go, and play it for a lifetime. As a golf staff we strive for your
involvement in playing and participating in the golf environment.
The golf staff will host junior clinics weekly on Saturday late mornings starting in
April until school lets out. Starting in June, clinics will be available on Friday’s at
a similar time. The staff will also conduct two Junior Camps this year, June 29th July 2nd and July 6th - July 9th. These are great ways to keep juniors involved with
golf, and also learn about the golf swing and etiquette. There are many exciting
opportunities for juniors this year to improve, and most importantly, have fun at
WCC.
For the first time this year we will be providing the opportunity for members and
guest to participate in a US Kids Fit Day. This will allow all area juniors to learn
what US Kids is all about, receive free instruction, and be able to get fitted with
US Kids equipment. Call the Waynesboro Country Club Golf Shop today, at (540)
942-9340 to sign up for these wonderful junior golf activities. Just a few more
months before the excitement begins.
Sincerely,
Waynesboro Country Club Golf Staff
