Kids will sharpen their golf skills while having fun. Instruction provided by Dalhousie PGA Professionals Bill Morrow, Nick Kuenneke, and Jack Connell.
After a very successful 2025 season, our staff is extremely excited for the upcoming year, and the junior golf programming that we will be offering in the coming months. Please take note of a few updates on our end. They are significant, so forgive me for the length of the writing:
- Assistant Golf Professional Connor Thrower will be assisting Jack Connell this year with the programming and communications. I have assumed our Membership Director responsibilities, so I will be helping more from behind the scenes throughout the year. Connor will be on paternity leave until the middle of April, so I will handle the role from now until then as I usually have, so email me back with all of your signups.
- The Connell Golf Schools will see some date and timing changes. We will have sessions on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings in 2026. Fridays became a challenge, being one of the busiest days on our tee sheets. We hope Thursday mornings will be a better experience for all involved.
- The Connell Golf Schools will also go to two 1-hour sessions each day. The first hour will be for juniors 9 and under. The second hour will be for ages 10 and up. Age ranges could change based on sign-ups, and parents of multiple juniors can select a session for all of their juniors if they so choose. Also instead of May, we will begin in June.
