Normandie Project Update: Normandie UCamp

Three weeks of the UCamp at Normandie Golf Club are in the books. Urban Golf of St. Louis heads up this program to introduce young kids from within the community to golf. They are learning golf terminology, etiquette, and the fundamentals to swinging a golf club. The kids are even learning the role of a caddie as they walk from tee to green on the 18th hole at Normandie, and see how one completes a hole.

The team at Urban Golf is also finding ways to encourage and inspire these young souls to be the best versions of themselves. They are providing the knowledge and tools to help the kids strive to reach their goals in and outside of golf. Local speakers and personalities, including former NFL wide receiver Brandon Williams (now working for the Battlehawks), come at the end of each day to talk to the kids and share their personal journeys in life. The goal is that these kids see others just like them reach their dreams, and believe that they too can lead a successful life.
