Activities aimed at building students’ golf, life skills
 
SALT LAKE CITY – Salt Lake City Golf is now accepting entry applications for boys and girls ages 6 to 17 for the 2012 Chevron Youth on Course Golf and Life Skills Program.  
 
The Youth on Course program  features beginning clinics, intermediate camps, advanced academies, junior leagues, parent/junior scrambles and individual tournaments.  The multifaceted mission of this program aims to provide participants with:

• Opportunities to learn the rules, etiquette, traditions and skills necessary to appreciate and enjoy the game of golf.
• Affordable access to Salt Lake City’s golf courses to facilitate the development of these skills.
• Structured activities and entry-level competitions that test these skills while helping to build solid core values, character traits and social skills.

 
“Chevron’s ongoing support of this program allows us to offer scholarships for boys and girls in need of financial assistance in order to participate in the beginning clinics and intermediate camps,” said Salt Lake City Golf Enterprise Fund Manager David Terry.
 
Youth on Course activities are scheduled throughout the summer at all Salt Lake City golf courses including Bonneville, Forest Dale, Glendale, Mountain Dell, Nibley Park, Rose Park and Wingpointe.  Registration packets including program descriptions are available at all Salt Lake City pro shops, or download a packet or register  online for any instructional program or tournament at www.slc-golf.com.
