This program is open to K-12 girls. Only $85 for the entire season! Micah (and I) LOVED the program last year and has joined the new girls golf team at her school this year.
Spread the word to other girls in the Birmingham area.

OK, it's time to stop procrastinating. The weather has been warm enough for golf for nearly two weeks, I've actually played a couple times, and we have most of the plans for 2011 in place. So here it is:
Girls Golf 2011 will again be held at the Oxmoor Valley Academy of Golf. The Academy, with its own driving range, putting green and sand bunkers, seemed to do well for us last year. I'm happy to report that Neil Thompson, Director of Instruction, Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Academy of Golf, will again be our lead instructor; he will be assisted by instructors from Greystone and also from Oxmoor Valley. To our dismay, Brooke has found that running after two small boys is taxing her strength more than she had thought, so she will be only minimally involved this year.
Kickoff for the 2011 Girls Golf season will be Sunday, March 20, at the RTJ Oxmoor Valley clubhouse, beginning at 2:30. There will be an introduction to the 2011 Girls Golf program, followed by a few words from Neil and a reception. Club fitting will be done for girls who need clubs or have a question regarding the length of their clubs. Clubs will also be available for purchase at a discounted price. I know that Sunday is the last day of Spring Break, but come if you can.
Clinics will again be held on Monday afternoons, beginning March 21 and continuing through June 27, at the Oxmoor Valley Academy of Golf. There will be two clinics each afternoon; 5:00-6:00 for advanced girls and 6:00-7:00 for beginning and intermediate level players. If you find that getting to the correct clinic is inconvenient, come to the one that best fits your schedule. Beginning in April, three to four girls will play a few holes on the Short Course each night instead of receiving instruction so they will get a chance to experience actual play.
We plan to have four Play Days in June and July, in addition to the LBGA Girls Golf Championship and luncheon in mid-July. More information will be sent when the dates and courses have been confirmed.
Best of all, for one more year the program fee for the 2011 program is still only $85 per girl!
The Participant Form and tentative 2011 Events Schedule have been posted on our website; go to www.ewgabirmingham.com, click on Links in the upper right corner and then on LPGA-USGA Girls Golf. Be patient, the documents are in .pdf format and can take a long time to come up. The Participant Form is a "fillable" document, meaning you can type in the information before you print it. Note that the Participant Form requires the signature of a parent or guardian in the middle of the page, you will need to sign the document after you print it. You can bring the completed form and a check for $85 per girl made out to "Girls Golf" to Kickoff, or you can mail them to Girls Golf, PO Box 382003, Birmingham 35238. There will be a prize for every girl who has mailed her form and check prior to Kickoff or who turns in her form and check at Kickoff. Or you can bring your completed form and check to the first clinic you attend.
I encourage you to tell your friends about Girls Golf, members of your golf team, your Girl Scout troop, your church group, and anyone you think might be interested in joining us. If you have any questions, please let me know.
