NEW HOPE ELEMENTARY AFTER SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM REINFORCES GOLF AND STEM-RELATED ACTIVITIES

The New Hope Elementary After School Enrichment Program in Huntsville, Ala., is an exciting and educational resource for area youth. The program benefits area children and is designed to reinforce natural life skills, STEM-related activities, and golf skills. The young lady in the above photo (far right) made a “basked in one” that day from 40 feet with a cut-down pitching wedge. “Wow, it was an amazing shot, she even beat me!” said Coach Howard Bankhead.

The successful program creates a golf setting where it’s safe and the kids can swing a club and strike a real golf ball.
