| Testimonial from a Parent |
| "Thanks to this LivingSocial deal, my son was able to try out 2 lessons and I didn't feel pressured to 'get our money's worth.' It was the perfect way to give it a try. He says golf camp is 'amazing' and when he was acting up the other day, I told him I would cancel our plans to sign him up. For 2 days straight he told me he would not be rude because he wanted to go to golf camp so much! WOW.
At the two LivingSocial lessons, I've seen him lined up right next to the instructors, not lagging behind, I've seen him concentrating, focusing and following directions. It really has captured his interest, and it seems to me you & your instructors know that you have to keep the kids engaged and active. I love hearing all the positive feedback the instructors give ALL the kids, too. That's so key to building their confidence.
Anyway, I just signed him up for Thursday Beginniner Camp. We're looking forward to the start of camp!"

Teresa Smith Pine-Richland | "We have seen tremendous improvement in Jake since he started working with NHJGA over a year ago. NHJGA makes learning golf fun, as they relate well to the kids in their positive teaching style. We have also found the camps to be a great chance to apply what they are learning and to get out and actually play the game!" |
Steven Filipaza Mars | "You can play basketball, but you're got to do more, you've got to get into other things. In golf, the game itself brings people together, people from all different backgrounds." |
Samantha Thompson North Allegheny | "Over the past three years, my daughter Elizabeth's involvement in the NHJGA program has not only improved her golf skills, but it has taught her to respect the game, playing with integrity and proper golf etiquette. Being one of several girl members, Elizabeth has been accepted by her male peers, as encouraged by the NHJGA staff. Through the weekly lessons, Elizabeth has been able to develop wonderful friendships with other members, from surrounding towns and varied age groups. Golf has become Elizabeth's number one sport. She enjoys it so much that she has me exploring options for winter instruction. Thanks, again, for all you do at the NHJGA program." |
