Awareness Stage: Introductory Clinics–
Levels 1 & 2
Ages 8 to 14 years (boys & girls)
There are two advancing clinics. Successful completion of Level 1 provides juniors with the competency to play Cantigny Youth Links unsupervised.
Clinic Level 1—Certification
This program is designed for a beginning golfer at least 8 years old. Level 1 clinics prepare juniors for certification testing and on-course evaluation for unaccompanied (without adult super- vision) play at the Cantigny Youth Links. The clinics meet for five, 90-minute sessions and introduce the juniors to the basics in putting, chipping and full-swing. Safety and etiquette require- ments (where to stand, sportsmanship, etc.) are also introduced. An exam on safety and etiquette and an on-course evaluation will be held on the fifth and final meeting of the clinic. Juniors must meet minimum requirements to become certified.
No course experience is required for this level.
Cost: $155
Clinic Level 2—Beyond Certification
Beyond Certification is for juniors who have been certified. This clinic is designed to develop the basic putting, chipping and full swing skills learned in Level 1. The pitch shot is introduced at this level. Also introduced at this level are rules questions and situations that might occur while playing out on the golf course. Level 2 clinics meet for five, 90-minute sessions and juniors must pass a written rules test to advance to the next level.
Cost: $155
Custom Junior Clinics
If the dates of our scheduled programs conflict with your summer plans, juniors may form their own classes or be grouped with other juniors of the same level. Each Custom Class consists of three to six juniors, and will follow the same curriculum. Enroll in a Custom Certification Class by contacting the Golf Academy at 630 260 8199.
