Thanks to all of you who mailed in an entry. These academies are designed for juniors to learn and improve their golf game with the help of PGA Professionals. At each academy, students will receive supervision by Minnesota PGA Academy staff, practice balls, a 2000-2001 USGA Rule Book, a Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Academy tee gift, lunch, and a personalized instruction video and swing analysis. Students will have the opportunity to play at least nine holes at the facility where the academy is being conducted. Both boys and girls, ages 8 through 18, are eligible for registration.
Some skill is required as well as a serious interest in the game and a desire to improve.
Do not hesitate to sign up early. Below are the dates and locations of the academies that are scheduled for 2001. Applications were sent to juniors who were a member of the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Association in 2000, and had a scoring average of 83 or less for boys, and 95 or less for girls. As of March 1st, Series A, B, and D are full for boys and Series B and D are full for girls. There are still many spots open in the girls' division, so again, please don't hesitate to send in those entry forms.
