SNAG Red Hawk Ridge has adopted the SNAG (Starting New At Golf) program to its curriculum for juniors in the Rookie age division. SNAG is a new and fun way to introduce kids to golf. SNAG contains all the elements of golf, but utilizes modified equipment (i.e. Tennis balls, Velcro targets and lightweight clubs with large club heads). SNAG incorporates specialized teaching methods to deliver results with much higher success than students would get out of hitting real balls with real clubs. We provide all of the equipment for SNAG, so please do not bring a set from home. This class is recommended for juniors who have no prior golf experience and would prefer a fun transition into golf rather than jumping right into this highly intricate game. Important Note: All SNAG classes are held at Bison Park and not at Red Hawk Ridge. 93001 June 10–12 Monday–Wednesday, 10–11 a.m. 93002 June 10–12 Monday–Wednesday, 11:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Classes will feature two days on the driving range and one day on the putting green to maximize overall golf knowledge. The primary focus is on fine-tuning student’s skills through the application of games and drills that will help students transition successfully to the golf course.
