City plans golf camp in July

Published 11:25 pm Friday, March 23, 2012

Golf can be a fun sport for players of just about any level of skill. But as one learns the skills, techniques, basic rules, etiquette and course management to become more competitive, it becomes even more exciting to play.

In an effort to instill a little bit of that excitement in a new generation of golfers, the Suffolk Parks & Recreation will hold a Hook-A-Kid On Golf program from 9 a.m. to noon July 16-20 at the Sleepy Hole Golf Course.

The program is open to boys and girls ages seven to fifteen.
