Junior Golf Clinic
A Junior Golf Clinic will be held at the Fort Fairfield Community Center every Wednesday until April 11. Those attending the clinic will be using newly purchased golf equipment, from golf clubs, to hitting nets, to a nine-hole putting course.
“The six week indoor youth golf clinic will prepare the young golfers for the more intense golf instruction program to be carried out this summer at the Aroostook Valley County Club over a ten week period,” says Tom Towle, Fort Fairfield recreation director and CANUSA Youth Golf council member. “The young golfers will receive golf instruction three times per week and have access to the AVCC course all summer. We have several volunteers that help with travel and mentoring these young golfers and we will be hiring a full-time Youth Golf Coordinator for fund-raising and developing youth golf activities.”
For more information, contact the FFCC at 472-3882.
