Golf Pro Carlos Rodriquez with students on the course.
If you have a youth between the ages of nine and 14 and they told you they are done with organized sports, such as soccer and basketball, have they tried golf? This is a life-long sport and a great way to get your kid away from screens and outside.
Many adult business deals are done on the golf course, and better your kid learns to play when they’re young, rather than picking it up when they’re in the twenties.
Now, there is a fall golf development program for juniors from 3:30 to 5 p.m. that will run from September 5 to November 21.
The program is taught by PGA Pro Carlos R. Rodriguez at Heroes Golf Course at the West L.A. Veterans Campus. All aspects of the game, driving, chipping, putting and etiquette are covered while playing the nine-hole, three-par course.
The cost is $110 per day, plus the $20 green fee. Youth may attend on a daily basis. To register, email LAGolfAcademy@gmail.com or call/text 310-230-2052. Visit: www.LAGolfAcademy.com
Carlos is amazing — a real treasure in the greater community. And does a lot with the veterans over at the VA as well.
