  TGA of Union is partnering to offer boys and girls ages 6 - 11 the most exciting golf camp. Kent Place Golf Camp is tailored for ALL SKILL LEVELS; from the never played before to the more experienced player looking to advance their game. The camp will be staffed by certified TGA instructors who focus on improving all aspects of each camper's golf game through specifically-designed lesson plans. Classes are limited to 20 students per week and the student to instructor ratio will be a max 6:1 and 4:1 during on-course play. This ensures that each camper gets the individual attention and time necessary to achieve their goals.

  
  Campers practice all aspects of the game: swing fundamentals, chipping, putting, driving, golf rules and etiquette, course management and decision making (e.g., driver vs. iron off the tee) and practice techniques. Students learn these skills by participating in stations as they rotate through each one to practice these skills and keep the day fun and engaging! We also incorporate simulated course play, golf games, and skills challenges each week.
  
  In addition, students will be going on two field trips:

  1. The Golf-Cave: Campers take advantage of state-of-the-art simulators designed to break down every detail of a player's swing, providing the most realistic golf experience possible.
  2. Ash Brook Golf Course: Campers will play a 9-hole, Par 27 Pitch & Putt course, where campers will get on-course experience while accompanied by our TGA certified golf instructors.

  Students always look forward to Golf Olympics each week! Golf Camp is all about providing a fun atmosphere for children of all ages and skill levels to play golf. Campers will build friendships, gain self-confidence and create lifelong memories. Every student will receive a TGA Golf goody bag including hats, hat clips, tees, golf balls and more.
