SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION
|
|
Wilderness Survival students have taken to the outdoors and are working to master basic navigation skills. Students began by leaning how they could use their own pace distance to keep track of how far they traveled. Then after learning how to properly use a compass and take a bearing, students tested their skills by completing a basic navigation course. In the upcoming weeks, students will turn their focus to fire and shelter building techniques.

GIRLS GOLF LESSON OPPORTUNITY
Parents, do you have a daughter who you would like to be involved in golf? High school golf is a great sport and often leads youngsters into something they can do the rest of their lives. One of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to high school golf is that girls need to have a lot of experience or be good players already in order to come out and make the high school team. Those ideas are definitely misconceptions, especially when it comes to jv girls golf. In a typical year, we will have several players on our jv team with very little experience coming into the season.
When it comes to making the varsity team, although our team won the State Championship this past season, we graduate several good players and, most likely, will take any girl that can break 100 for 18 holes straight to the varsity team this year. In an effort to get girls out playing golf, learning the game and preparing to try out in the fall, we have an opportunity for some inexpensive group lessons with PGA Professional Larry Hamilton through the spring and summer. Larry has his own golf teaching facility in downtown Rochester and also works out of Twin Lakes. This is a great opportunity for young girls (current 5th graders and up) to get some golf instruction without having to commit to the expense of individual lessons yet.
We have some good young players who will be coming up through Rochester High in the next few years and we'd really like to keep building in order to make another State Championship run in the next several years! If you have a daughter who would be interested in attending some group lessons, please contact our Girls Varsity Coach, Jeff Haney, at jhaney@rochester.k12.mi.us. We would like to start lessons within the next few weeks and have them run through the end of the school year. For those who want to continue after that, Larry will also be running lessons throughout the summer as well. Lessons will usually be once a week (if we have enough players, we will possibly have two different time slots each week) and will cost $20. We are very excited about getting young girls involved in the game of golf and hope your daughter can join in.
