GOLF – AUGUST 2016

Can you believe it??

These free beginner golf lessons makes the sport of golf accessible to kids throughout New York City. Free use of equipment is available at all lessons.

As with all City Parks Foundation youth sports programs, the emphasis is not only on learning the basics of a given sport, but also in developing self-confidence and sportsmanship.

The program gives kids a chance to apply their skills and try out for intermediate-level programs and ultimately the CityParks Junior Golf Academy – a free, specialized program for dedicated young golfers held our Junior Golf Center in Brooklyn.
