Skyhawks Beginning Golf Camp

Skyhawks Golf focuses on building the confidence of young athletes by teaching proper techniques to refine essential skills of the game. To assist in this training, Skyhawks has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) system into its curriculum. SNAG utilizes equipment designed for beginner golfers, including oversized plastic club heads and “mini tennis balls” to help build confidence and to have fun. Developed by PGA professionals, SNAG is specifically designed for the entry-level player; SNAG simplifies instruction so that young players can make an easy and effective transition onto the golf course. No need to bring your own clubs—all equipment is provided. We keep the instructor-to-camper ratio low, resulting in limited availability.
