2020 BAA Golf Camps
NOTE: Until we know how the Coronavirus (Covid19) is going to affect our summer sport we will set up the registration to put everyone in a Waitlist (in order by when you register) so you do NOT have to pay yet. Once information is provided (the courses open & it is safe to play golf) that allows us to continue with our season everyone on the Waitlist will get an email telling them to complete their payment by a certain date.
We are doing this because we need the registrations to happen now so we know how to plan the season. The planning has to happen even before we know the longevity of the virus situation.
Online Registrations are now open!
If you have any questions after reading the information below please call or preferably text Virg Senescall at 612-799-5455 or send an email to BAAGolf2020@gmail.com.
DWAN Golf Program
Dwan will be the same concept, format, dates & times (see schedule below) on Sunday nights. In order to qualify for Dwan, the player has to be mature enough to do the following without supervision: 1) Be respectful of the course, the clubhouse, the staff, and all others, especially anyone you are playing with. 2) Know, understand & follow the Rules and Etiquette of the game of golf, including keeping an accurate score. 3) Making sure others and yourself are not in danger when you or others are swinging a golf club or hitting a golf ball. Along with the maturity each player has to be able to keep up with the group in front of them. On a longer course like Dwan this would typically mean being able to score below 55 from the Back Tees at Hyland or below 65 at Dwan for 9 nine holes, but most importantly know how to be ready all the time to hit your shot when it is your turn. Please call or text Virg if you have any questions. He has all the scores from 2019.
HYLAND Golf Program
Hyland will be different from the past in concept & format, with the same dates & times (see schedule below) on Wednesday & Thursday nights for rounds.
We will still have Check-in times for the rounds with the older players earliest and the youngest players later. The last Check-in time will be at 4:40 pm and we will back up into the afternoon to accommodate all that register. Last year the first Check-in time was 1:00 pm and I am guessing that this year it will be about 2:00 pm.
GolfTrack Academy is helping us to switch our Hyland Rounds to a model they and more than 500 other golf training organizations in the country have found to work a lot better than the traditional approach. The approach is called Operation 36. The concept is to start every player (beginner to experienced) teeing off at 25 yards the first day with the goal of shooting a score of 36 or less. As soon as a player is able to score less than 37 for 9 holes they will tee off from 50 yards the next round. Once they can beat 37 at 50 yards they will tee off from 100 yards the next round. The next step would be 150 yards or the normal tee boxes that already exist if they are less than 150 yards.
The beauty of this approach is no one is struggling as much with the longer shots and much higher scores until they are more ready for that. All players, but especially the less experienced players will have less frustration. Everyone will learn the short part of the game first which is the most important part for as long as they play the game of golf.
LESSONS
Lessons for both Dwan & Hyland will continue to be taught by GolfTrack Academy and will now be 90 minutes instead of 60 and will have a limit of 8 players instead of 10. This makes the lessons that much more valuable for each player and of course more expensive to the program. In addition, we will be creating a method for each family to schedule their own lesson times within the dates and times that are available to our golf camps.
FEE:
2020 Fee: $175 covers 9 rounds at Hyland or 7 rounds at Dwan, all lessons, tournament awards, picnic or meal after playing in the tournament. Reminder, clubs, tees and golf balls are your responsibility.
