This expansion was made possible through the chapter’s partnership with the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational. Junior golfers ages 5 through 18 are invited to register for classes that will take place from June 24 – August 12, 2021. Classes will focus on golf instruction while also emphasizing life skills such as inner strength, self-confidence and resilience. The $100 registration fee includes all instruction and a junior golf tournament in August. Participants are encouraged to bring their own equipment however, there will be equipment available during class time for those that do not have their own. Financial aid is available for those not able to pay the registration fee. Program director and PGA Professional Joe Simpson said in a news release: “The need to empower our youth, so that they are prepared to tackle all of life’s challenges is critical now more than ever. The game of golf naturally provides opportunities for safe and socially distant outdoor activities that can provide a fun and meaningful experience.” Those interested in participating are encouraged to register at www. firstteeeasternmichigan.org.
