| LINK School Junior Golf Program This is the fifth consecutive year that PlaySmart has run this golf camp for underprivileged kids who attend the LINK Community School in Newark, NJ. More than twenty kids will participate this year. In this program, kids learn valuable life lessons while being introduced to golf! The kids are taught one character trait per week, including attentiveness, diligence,truthfulness, loyalty and gratefulness, and apply that lesson to golf. Once again, professional golf instructors will be on hand to ensure proper technique while role models will be brought in to discuss character development. At the end of the 6-week program, the kids will present what they learned - both by playing a "real" golf course as well as presenting the character development traits they learned during the program. Many thanks to the Cheslea Piers Golf Club, Chelsea Piers Scholarship Fund, George McGovern and the New York Giants. In addition, PlaySmart thanks Director Rick Kahn for "making it happen" once again! |
