RAMS Middle School Golf starts Mid-April
The RAMS Golf Club is an opportunity for middle school golfers with any level of experience to enjoy the sport of golf in a fun, instructional environment both on the driving range and on the course. Group instruction is provided each week by Trevor Pennypacker, a member of the HHS Varsity Golf Team.

On alternate weeks, the golfers go out in groups of 4 maximum and play 9 holes.
This is a non-profit venture, in other words, golfers split the cost of greens fees, balls, and coaching fees. I am simply the person who organizes, picks up as many kids as I can in my van, brings in clubs that parents leave at my house, distributes the pay, etc.
Dates: TUESDAYS. 8 weeks starting April 14th and ending on June 9th. Each week the players alternate between instruction on the range and instruction on the course. There will be no golf on April 21st school vacation week. Snow on the course may delay a start to April 28th with a resulting end on June 23rd.
