Unlock the keys to game design by choosing your own adventure! Unlike any other game design course, students in this program will make special top-down adventure games like Pokémon or Zelda to compete with their friends. Design unlimited rooms and levels as you continue your quest in becoming a game design master.

DESCRIPTION Whether your child has been playing for years or has never swung a club before, the Sammons Junior Golf Academy is the perfect opportunity to teach them the game of golf. Kids ages 6 to 17 will learn the skills, rules, and beauty of the game.

Upon graduation from the Academy, students will receive a SJGA polo style shirt, hat, and a certificate of completion.

Please register your child in person at Sammons Golf Links located at 2727 W. Adams in Temple.

Space is limited to the first 15 students for 6-10 year olds and the first 20 for the 11-17 year olds.

Due to the success of the Sammons Junior Golf Benefit Tournament, we have purchased all new equipment for teaching this year. If your child does not have clubs, we are able to provide them for the camps. Having this equipment will help us to properly teach the fundamentals of the swing and instill proper technique for your child.
