Junior Golf Program at Chelsea Piers PlaySmart is excited to announce that we will be launching a junior golf program in March of 2002. In the program, PlaySmart will participate as a major organizer, financial sponsor and co-operator of a golf program for underprivileged New York area youth. The format for the program is both interactive and discussion-based. Each week, the kids will be given a golf topic to discuss and apply to golf. This discussion will be followed by application of the lesson using the driving range facilities. The golf lessons will be given by officially-sanctioned PGA golf professionals. After the golf lesson, a second discussion will take place. This second discussion will demonstrate how to apply the golf lesson to overall character development and to life. The character qualities to be addressed are honesty, discipline, perseverance, goal setting, time management and courtesy. We are expecting 18-20 kids aged 11-13 to be involved in the camp. The group will meet one night per week for six weeks. Each session will be two hours in length and will be held at the golf practice facility of Chelsea Piers in New York City (http://www.chelseapiers.com). PlaySmart will sponsor the instruction camps in conjunction with Chelsea Piers Scholarship, Athletes In Action (http://www.athletesinaction.org) and players from the New York Football Giants (http://www.giants.com). Members of PlaySmart and the New York Giants will deliver the curriculum and serve as mentors to the kids who participate in the camp. PlaySmart is excited about getting involved in this worthwhile activity. Please visit our site in April to learn more about the success of this program and to view pictures from the camps!
