2025 was a great building year!
Sixteen junior golfers total participated in our 2025 golf programs. Players and coaches enjoyed our season of competitive training and course practice at The Oaks Golf Course, Pease Golf Course, and Sagamore Golf Club.
The program competitors play competitive golf in high school, and in state and regional competitions. These players are passionate and committed in their pursuit of better golf, and are interested in excelling at high school golf and college golf in the future. Our summer program included skills development, course management, mental training, and performance training.
Each of our 16 players competed in New Hampshire Junior Golf events, and several played in additional events around New England.
The hard work put in by the junior golfers during the summer was obvious going into the high school golf season. Most players had dropped their stroke averages, this resulted in significant results during the season. We had many medalist finishes this past season.
