to return year to year because the programs are loaded with
fun games and drills that keep them engaged and interested
in the game!” ~ Director of Golf, Chris Thomson, PGA
2014 Junior Golf Camp ~ Wilderness Ridge
WELCOME to the Wilderness
Ridge Junior Golf Camp experience!
We are excited you are planning to
have your son or daughter join us for a
full week of discovery about the game
of golf. During the week we will
cover most aspects of the game
in a beginning stage atmosphere
that will be highlighted by some fun
drills, games and contests. The overall
mission for our junior golf program is to
provide each child with a consistent

introduced to the game by our caring
and specialized staff.
Beginning at registration, your child
will be placed in a group based on
their age and they will stay with that
group for the entire week. Groups are

SPECIALIZED LEARNING – SNAG ™We will be utilizing some special equip-
ment called “SNAG” ® which stands for
“Starting New At Golf”. It is a FUN game
that is EASY to learn and can be played
ANYWHERE. SNAG™ contains all the
basic elements of golf, but in a modified
form. Falling somewhere between
miniature golf and regulation golf, SNAG
™ allows for full shots, pitching, chipping
and putting. SNAG ™ contains all the
elements of golf but in a modified form.
The game has its own simplified rules
and terminology that adds fun to the
learning and playing experience. SNAG
® Golf equipment and training tools
are specifically designed to simplify the
learning process.
KWIK GOLFGolf is often thought of to be a SLOW
moving sport. Not NOW! We will once
again be utilizing the KWIK Golf system
which allows kids to play a fast paced,
safe game of golf that focuses more on
speed than it does score. The game is
fast moving and extremely fun for kids!

Section PGA Junior Golf Leader and
nominated in 2013 for the Nebraska
Section PGA Player Development
Award.
The junior golf programs address the introduction to the game for younger beginner
children through our camp atmosphere. Once they are ready to “graduate” to
a higher level program, many move over to the weekly junior golf league. This is a
developmental league that gets kids ready for more golf, practicing regularly and
prepares them through middle school as they start to think about high school options.
