Junior Girls Clinic Schedule

The VSWGA is offering a series of  girls junior golf clinics around the state again this summer.  We are very fortunate to have respected teaching professional, Leo Reynolds, as the Director of junior girls golf instruction.  Leo will be responsible for the curriculum and instruction of the clinics.  Leo is a retired life member of the PGA and one of the strongest advocates of junior golf in Vermont.

The dates for these clinics are currently being arranged. More information will be posted here as soon it becomes available.  Stay tuned.
