Hi, We are so excited to hear about the new, possible programs. My daughter has participated in the junior golf program for 2 years and has had a very positive experience; from meeting new people to learning so many things, her confidence has grown tremendously. We appreciate all that goes into this program.
Thank you,
The Wagar Family

I like doing the golf program. I learned so many things and now I can golf with my dad and I see how much I’m improving each year. (Hayden Wagar, 8).

To whom it may concern,
I am writing this letter on behalf of my family and with utmost gratitude for the opportunity to participate with the junior league golf program situated in Cheboygan County.
I have 2 young daughters that learned a great deal under the tutelage of the pro staff involved with Indian River and Cheboygan Golf Country Clubs. Courtesies, such as respect for sport, individual practice and teammates were reinforced. Values for leadership, learning, self-control and timeliness were honored and brought home. Among the chance to make and build new friendships, my girls also developed a high regard of responsibility in managing their own schedules in order to make it to designated sessions. They adored learning the sport and practicing a new skill! These lessons are core to living a fun and practical way of life and I am certain that the challenge offered in sculpting a youth golf pro is parallel to those in sculpting youth in general.
I am excited to see the progress made in the coming summers and look forward to being a more involved parent of youth golfers. Thank you for your support and generosities to keep this program growing! :)
Sincerely,
Ms. Jesica Bunker

My daughters, Hanna age 13 and Addison age 11, were able to learn the skills of golf thru the Cheboygan County's Junior Golf program this summer. They gained confidence every week in their golfing abilities. The teachers were great and my daughters looked forward to going every week.
This great program teaches kids manners, respect for others, and life lessons they can carry with them as they become adults.
Thanks

This was my 12-year-old son's first time playing golf and I think he will be a golfer for life now. It was such a fun, positive experience for him--thank you. Angie Canistra

My son Luke took Golf lessons at both Cheboygan and Indian River this year. He was a first time golfer and was taught the etiquette, rules and fundamentals of golf.
He learned a lot from these professionals and also had a wonderful experience.
The instructors are wonderful people and true leaders in their skills.
We are looking forward to lessons again next year. Stacy Lafrinere

I had a fun time and learned some ways to help me golf. I realize I need to practice to get better.

Our daughter can be timid at times. So much so that I personally feel that she is too anxious to try different things. While as a parent, that makes me a little happy inside, I would like her to feel more comfortable in following her ideas. Participating in the golf academy this past summer was a great experience for her. Not only did she enjoy learning about and playing the game of golf, she also gained confidence and I really think she has opened up a little more. The instructors were kind, patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I hope the program can continue, not only so my daughter can participate again, but for other youths as well. Please let me know if there is any other support we can provide!!

My Name is Jeffrey Sager and I am 12 years old and in the 7th grade. I have been involved in the Indian River Junior Golf program for 5 years. Over the years I have learned integrity, honesty, and good sportsmanship. Every single year that I have golfed, has gotten me better, and has taught more life lessons. Golf is my favorite sport, and I plan on it being so in the future. I recently spoke with the golf coach at my high school and he has let me be the manager for the upcoming season. It sounds like a fun job. That is what I like about golf.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Sager

A huge thank you to the Cheboygan Golf Academy. My son learned so much and cannot wait for next year’s Academy to learn even more about this great game. Taking him on the course and hearing him talk about the rules with me was so fun. Was so nice to have him get clubs that actually fit him. To hear him talk about wanting to learn more and to make his swing better and how to read the greens. As many know, kids will listen to others better than their parents. For this I am grateful to have some amazing pros to teach our children.
Thank you. Jeff Pluszczynski
