New Jr. Program at PGCC

Peterborough Golf and Country Club is pleased to introduce our new Divot and Junior programs that better represents our youth and gives them an opportunity to grow. The costs to the new program listed below are the same pricing structure to what is already in place with enhanced features to better suit the needs of today’s youth and puts the Club at the forefront of all Junior programs. The programs will be suited for both boys and girls and the opportunity for all Non-Members to let their children play here at the Club. This is a great opportunity for your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends of your children to enjoy this program. Everyone is welcome to join!

Peterborough Golf and Country Club, and our Professional Staff, are working to establish a competitive “Junior Team” program for our Club.

Similar to other sports i.e. soccer and hockey, this team will be made up of players who enjoy, and are looking for, competition, team camaraderie, and game improvement. You will, by its absence, notice that I have chosen not to use playing ability as a pre requisite for this team. Unlike other competitive, city-representative sports, there will be no “try-outs”. Junior Members who believe that the Team’s program is something that they wish to follow may join. Of course this will not be the only program offered at the Club for Junior Members. This is only the AAA Program. Programs for all levels have been established.

I have thought about establishing this Club Representative Junior Team since I began working at PGCC in 2002. With the Junior Members that we will have back in 2010, now seems like the perfect time to start. In my opinion, what it takes to start a team like this, like any other team, is a group of young, enthusiastic athletes who are already quite proficient at the game, serious about improving, and who wish to play competitively. The other ingredients needed are two: (1) a coaching and managerial staff that enjoys teaching, understands competitive sport and is extremely organized, and (2) a strong parental support group. From what I have seen from the players, parents of those players, Club Directors, and our Professional Staff, we have all the necessary ingredients to create a program that will surely succeed.

THE PROGRAM

1) Becoming a Member of a PGCC Junior Golf Team – 4 Levels of this team will exist; 1) AAA (the High Performance Team), 2) Select (the Early Competitive Team), 3) House League (the Recreational Teams), and 4) Divot or Cubs (Players 11 years of age or younger)

i. AAA – This program will cater to the already proficient tournament player. Players on this team will have already set a schedule of provincial, national and international tournaments they wish to play in throughout the summer. The goal of many of these players is to secure post-secondary education via scholarship. A program of this nature requires mandatory attendance for practice sessions and nutrition and fitness instruction. This program will only gain credibility within the golfing community if its participants are successful.
ii. Select – This program is for players who have limited or no tournament experience but who are keen to become more competitive. Younger players just getting started in competitive golf will be exposed to tournament play via exchange days, inter-club matches and select junior invitational tournaments.
iii. House League – All Juniors at the Club will be placed on a House League team, should they choose to be a part of the Junior Field Days that take place on Saturdays – beginning May 15th. We highly encourage all Juniors to take part in this fun program.
iv. Divot “Cubs” Program – The future of Junior golf at PGCC begins with this program. The Divot program is for players 11 years of age or younger and who have a connection with an adult Member at the Club (be it a relation or a sponsor). Divot Members will participate within the framework of the Junior program’s lesson and field day curriculum. Players will learn the basics of the game in a positive and fun environment. Older and more proficient Divots will also be given the opportunity to play in the Club’s House League Program.


2) Fitness Program – It is imperative, in order to compete at each player’s highest level, that Team Members continually improve their physical fitness. Flexibility, strength and endurance are three keys to game improvement that often go unnoticed when evaluating a top player. A great swing is easy to identify, but why that swing looks so effortless and repeatable from the tee-shot on the first hole to the approach shot on the eighteenth hole has everything to do with being in shape. Members of the Professional staff will always be available to mentor athletes in the basics of fitness. As well, opportunity will be given for those wishing to improve their cardiovascular endurance, to do so under the supervision of a member of the golf Professional Staff. Information on this program will be circulated during the Information Session.
3) Team Building – Golf, being an individual closed sport, does not often or easily perpetuate a Team type atmosphere. My number-one goal for all players is to create a Team that takes pride in each other’s accomplishments and the accomplishments of the team as a whole. Success in golf is often measured by the score shot or by the position in the field finished. And, unfortunately, too many players these days, including juniors, often times relate their golf success with their self-worth. This attitude and pressure drives good young players from the game and is something that junior golf must be rid of. Successes will be celebrated as a Team. Improvements in individual games will be because of the positive Team atmosphere. And fun will be had because doing things together, supporting others and being supported is what we all want.
4) Club Representation – Being a team means acting like and looking like a team. Matching golf bags and tournament uniforms serve to symbolize team cohesiveness. In order to offset costs Team Members will be required to fund raise. Fund raising activities include helping out with Senior Member Club events, acting as Professional’s Assistants during Junior Camp and other in-club non-sales events. Again, working as a Team on behalf of the Team will be fun, Club-friendly and will provide the Team with a sense of accomplishment.
These four levels of our Junior Program are being established in order to assist those players who enjoy playing the game at all levels. In no way is it mandatory to become involved in any team program in order to be a Junior Member at the Club.

Registration for all programs will take place Tuesday May 11th at 6:30pm during our information night in one of the first banquet room.

We invite you to join us on this day and invite your friends, family and coworkers who have children and think they would be interested in this new program.

In closing, I am extremely excited about the upcoming year and what it holds in store for all of us. This is a brand new idea and what lies before us, I do not know. One thing I do know is that it is the right thing to do for our great kids! I am looking forward to your responses to this idea. Please feel free to ask all the questions necessary in order to plan this endeavour properly.
