Kids taught to play golf from the "First Swing"

The Peachtree City Recreation Department is sponsoring instructional classes in Junior Golf called "First Swing" beginning on Thursday, April 15 and on Saturday, April 17 and will continue for six weeks.

Thursday classes will be held from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm and Saturday classes will be from 10 am to 11:30 am, all at Drake field. The cost for this nine hours of instruction is $65 per person. A second student from the same family would be eligible for a reduction in the registration fee. Equipment required for this instructional course will be provided by the instructor.

In "First Swing", students begin playing golf from the very first day. This program combines a simplified teaching progression with fun oriented games and activities. The course is designed to present golf as a fun and exciting challenge for today's youth. The program is open to children ages 8-15.

The instructor for this course will be Andrew Schneider. Andrew is a PGA Professional, a former college coach and has many teaching publications to his credit. He also has a radio show called "Dr. Golf with the PGA Minute".

Students may register for this fun and innovative instructional course at the Peachtree City Recreation Administration Office located at 191 McIntosh Trail Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm.
