Following the annual Hot Springs Village Adult Golf Clinic conducted March 23 – 24, Milt Spaniel and Mike Welsh made a donation from the HSV Knights of Columbus to Jack Barry, President of the Junior Golf Program.

The all-volunteer Junior Golf Program, now in its fourteenth year, was created for junior participants and is open to boys and girls ages 8 - 17.  The recent clinic, held in conjunction with the Golf Department and the Golf Committee, consisted of instruction in the basics of golf.  The summer program will be conducted  in June and July with a championship tournament held at the end.

The Junior Golf Scholarship Program grants $500 scholarships to high school seniors, and the awards are renewable for up to four years.  Fifteen scholarships have been presented since the program started in 2005. The Scholarship Committee will meet in April to consider applications to determine the awards for the 2011 season.

The Junior Golf Program is a 501(c)3 charitable non-profit corporation.  For additional information or to contribute to the program, visit www.hsvjuniorgolf.com.
