JUNIOR CLINIC
SCHEDULE

October/November

Hello!

I’m excited to share that our next session for the Saturday Junior programs will restart on Oct 30th and run through Nov 20th.  Be sure to sign-up early as we are keeping our class sizes optimal for learning and safety.  (We will use a waitlist once the classes are full)

Saturday Adult clinics are back and will resume on Oct 30th.

Notes:

• The class times have changed to account for cooler mornings
• The 8-11yr and 12 & up classes are now $25 per class, with a discount for signing up for all 4 weeks

If you delete this email, all events are on the Calendar.

Two ways to sign-up: online or simply reply to this email –  at least 3 days before the class with the dates that you’d like to register for.   NOTE: There is a 24 hour cancellation policy so that we can invite juniors from the waiting list and to maintain an effective instructor/junior ratio.

Reminder:  Springfield will be closed from Oct 4th – Oct 19 for Overseeding.  Overseeding is the process of planting winter grass (rye grass) into the existing summer grass (bermuda grass).  The bermuda grass goes dormant in the winter and then comes back for summer.   Overseeding for winter and summer is necessary to provide full, colorful fairways and greens in the different seasons.

The process typically takes 2 – 4 weeks. Once we re-open on Oct 20th, the course will be cart path only while the new rye grass grows in.
