Getting Kids in Quincy Started With the Game of Golf

Quincy's annual Little Peoples Golf Tournament took place earlier in the month. Anyone golfer that has children can tell you that it's not the easiest sport to get young kids involved in. If you take your kids at the wrong time of day, you'll spend more time letting others play through than you will playing your own game. Luckily for kids in Quincy, there are some great programs geared towards helping them get started in the game.

Westview Golf Course sponsors Family Nights, a special geared towards kids. Children play for only $1 on hols 19 - 27 after 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. The costs for parents and grandparents is only $5 per adult.

Westview and the Knights of Columbus will also have Junior Golf Boot Camp on July 8, 9 and 10. The program is designed to introduce the game of golf to children. PGA Professionals teach golf basics at Westview Golf Course and the K of C Range. The times for participants is 9-10 a.m. for 7 to 9-year-olds, and 10 a.m. to noon for 10 to 12-year-olds. Westview Golf Course is offering a $35 junior golf pass for $25 for participants and this course counts as the required golf etiquette class to play on the course.
