We take pride in scheduling an abundant practice schedule to help your son/daughter improve through the spring and summer.

Matches

Matches (6) will be held on Sunday afternoons beginning April 30th.   Exact match times will be posted the evening prior by the coaching staff.  We ask all parents to RSVP to each match date well ahead of time so we the coaches can provide an exact time for your son/daughter to tee off.  This will eliminate needless waiting around and allow your family to schedule accordingly.

All matches will be played on The Apple 9 Course.  Based on ability levels/age, players will compete from different sets of tees.  Tees will be decided by the coaches only.
