School Golf Helpers Needed
Junior golfers are the future volunteers and committee personnel for our club. Last term Golf SA visited three of our local schools and conducted clinics with the year 5, 6 and 7 groups. The kids really enjoyed it and they want more. Even the school staff want more.
Conducting activities with the schools is a great way for the golf club to raise its profile in the community and encourage whole families to participate if they want to. Conducting a 3-4 one hour per week golf program as part of the schools PE sessions plus a visit to the golf course is the best way to get the kids involved and is exactly what will be happening at Mt Burr PS in May 2018. Other larger schools have not yet been approached because of the lack of club volunteers to help which is a shame because there are naturally a lot more kids at those schools.
We have a Volunteer Community Instructor willing to run the coaching clinics but the instructor needs helpers. If you are interested in being a helper/supervisor you will need to do the “Working with Children” certificate. Its all done online and when you have completed it you will be reimbursed by Golf SE. Contact Mary Winser for more information Mob: 0438 057 435.
Ladies Sip n Swing Golf Clinic
Millicent GC is conducting a Ladies Golf Clinic on Sunday 4th March. For Beginners and Ladies returning to golf the club encourages the use of our Short Course in particular for anyone looking to take up golf or players who don’t have time to play the full course. It may be shorter but as a few of us have discovered you still have the challenges of the full course to contend with.

SE Junior Champs at Millicent
Golf SE will be conducting the SE Junior Championships at Millicent GC on Sunday 19th November. We have a line up of several players, boys and girls, with single figure handicaps. They have also been making themselves known, collecting a few trophies, at some of our District and Club Open Days throughout the year. Members and guests are welcome to come out to the course and observe these kids in action – we might learn a thing or two. Some of them may also be seen on the course having a practice round on the Saturday before. The main event is 18 Stroke but there will also be a nine and six hole event for non handicappers on the Short Course. All members are encouraged to tell local kids you think may be interested in participating.
