The gym at Ecole Harbour Landing School was transformed for one night right into a junior golfing club for a brand new application that teaches kids how to golf.

Paul Schatz with the Tor Hill Golf Course started coaching their family night golfing faculties to get kids interested in the sport.

“With any sport, gaining knowledge of and growing real abilities is greater via fun and getting out and doing it,” said Schatz, the president of the Regina Junior Golf Club.

The free nightly program, supplied at a few public faculties in Regina, is offered to students from kindergarten through Grade 8.

The kids are instructed on putting, chipping, pitching, and weight transfer.

David Callandar added his two ladies to the consultation to introduce them to the game.

“I’m eager to get my daughters into playing golf because I love the game,” Callander said. “Brooke Henderson is a large megastar in Canada. I’d like them to turn out to be big stars too.”

Although many kids have never picked up a club before, they already know what makes the ideal shot.

“You need attention to determine how long you want to shoot it and which manner you should shoot it,” said one participant.

Schatz said the reaction has been overwhelming, with more than 60 kids attending the inaugural classes.

“Watching youngsters exceed at something brings out sheer entertainment,” Schatz said. “As a teacher, there’s nothing better than seeing a kid with a large smile once they hit a proper shot.”
