Spring Seminars

Road to College

After great reception last year we are happy to announce that we will once again hold a Road to College workshop. The event will take place on May 15 from 5:30-7:30 PM at The First Tee of CT in Cromwell, Conn. This is a great opportunity for parents and juniors to learn about the path towards college golf as well as what to expect once you get there.

Confirmed panelists include UConn Men’s Coach Dave Pezzino and Fairfield University Men’s and Women’s Coach Doug Holub. More panelists to come!

Rules of Golf

As many of you know the rules of golf underwent major changes heading into the 2019 season. It is extremely important for our junior tournament players to understand the new terminology and procedures to help avoid penalty strokes.

Connecticut Section PGA Tournament Director Dennis Dungee and Official in Charge John Korolyshun will host a rules of golf seminar to cover everything you need to know. We hope that many of our junior members will take advantage of this opportunity. Date is TBD.
