This is a program near and dear to my heart, because it is filled with hope and promise for a healthy, active lifestyle.
The Ladies Professional Golf Association-United States Golf Association Girls Golf of Greater Bangor invites all girls between 7 and 17 to Girls Golf Day, 1-3 p.m. Saturday, May 20, at Hermon High School fields or inside if it rains.
The fun afternoon of introductory golf features oversized Starting New at Golf (SNAG) equipment. You need no experience, no equipment, to attend; this program is free and you don’t need to register. Just show up.
It kicks off the regular season of golf activities for the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf program, sponsored by Abnaki Girl Scout Council.
Cathy Willey is site director of the Greater Bangor program, which oversees the 10 sessions.
She hopes area girls will take advantage of the introductory afternoon and, perhaps, join the group for the golf program that runs from May through September.
All ages and skill levels are welcome and equipment is available. There is a fee for the summer session.
Instructors for this season will be two-time defending Women’s Maine State Golf Association champion Lori Frost, 13-time WMSGA champion Martha White and Hermon Meadow Golf Club professional Thea Davis.
For more information about the day or the program, call Abnaki Girl Scout Council, (800) 464-3858 or 989-7474.
