Instruction and useful methods of practice are included in each lesson. On the last day, golfers will have a chance to play a game of golf on their own on the course. Range balls are provided and golf clubs are available if needed. Please register with the name of the child who will be attending the lessons. If rain is in the forecast, you can call Forest Hills (651) 464-3097 (choose the option for the pro shop) after 4pm on the day of your clinic for information about if a session will need to be rescheduled.

This Competitive League is for golfers who have experience playing golf and are familiar with the rules and etiquette of the game. Less focus will be placed on the introduction to the game and more on how to keep score and play full rounds of golf. The goal in the competitive session is for each player to play a full nine holes and turn in a scorecard. Players in this league have the opportunity to win the Little Rock’s League Championship. Fixed tee times will be assigned after the first week.

This camp will cover all aspects of the game from technical to tactical. Each day will consist of a new theme (grips, footwork, offense/defense, singles/doubles strategy and sportsmanship), proper technique and grips for a variety of strokes like groundstrokes (underspin/topspin), volleys, lobs, overheads, approach shots, serves, returns, blocks and drop shots. Coaches will use a mix of closed and open drills, allowing for students to improve strokes and apply what they’ve learned through play. Games, competitive play, and skits round out this camp to ensure it’s a fun time for all! Participants should wear sport appropriate clothing and shoes, bring two nut/peanut free snacks, sunscreen and a bottle of water every day. 1649-SU25A - Upper JV/Varsity: 3+ years experience 1649-SU25B - Beginner/B-Squad/Lower JV: 0-3 years experience 06/09/2025 - 06/13/2025 Registration Deadline - June 6 1649-SU25C - Upper JV/Varsity: 3+ years experience 1649-SU25D - Beginner/B-Squad/Lower JV: 0-3 years experience 07/21/2025 - 07/25/2025 Registration Deadline - July 18 If you have any questions, please contact Melanie at 651-982-8392 or mhaas@flaschools.org
