“We began our season again with a clinic for all, an extra clinic for new players to golf or the league in preparation for their team-best ball play and a practice round to get everyone organized,” said Witmer. “Then four weeks of team best ball play and then we introduced them to stroke play where everyone got to play their own ball for an individual score, then the more experienced juniors participated in a 9-hole tournament, “added Witmer. “Our season culminated with a Drive, Chip and Putt competition, and pizza party and awards presentation.”
