Whispering Pines Junior Golf Program

 

The Whispering Pines Junior Golf Program, formed 20 years ago by Jim Birch and Jim Griggs, encourages young golfers to develop their skills and to love the game.  Participants range in age from 12 to 18 years old, and are separated into two divisions based upon ability.  The Junior program is underwritten by the generous donations of local companies and individual sponsors, which allows Jim Birch to give away free golf balls each week.  The league starts Thursday, June 12th with tee-offs at 12:230.  Entry fee for the entire 10-11 weeks is $15.00 and weekly greens fees are $6.00.

Teachers instruct in the mechanics of the swing, golf course etiquette, rules of the game and how to maintain a reasonable pace of play.

 

Four previous graduates of the Pines Junior Golf Program are employed full-time as Golf Club Professionals - John Owens, Mike Ferry, Eric Teasdale and Ryan Morian.
 
Jim Birch is very proud of the expanding participation of girls this year, and notes that the entire Meadville High School Varsity golf team played at Whispering Pines Golf Course.
 
The Junior Golf Program culminates in the annual year end golf outing, which is held the Sunday after Labor Day.  A pot-luck dinner is served and parents are invited.  Multiple sets of golf clubs and prizes are given out so that everyone walks away with something.
