REGISTRATION
Q: Why should I
register our school?

it’s more than a game. Golf will give your students an opportunity to learn valuable life-skills and a game
that will keep them active for a life-time. Whether your staff plays golf or
not, our Canadian PGA instructors will provide effective training for your teachers coupled with
comprehensive curriculum. Callaway Golf in Schools curriculum is innovative and creative in lesson delivery

Golf in Schools is committed to ensuring all schools are reached. Therefore, a nominal, ONE TIME fee of $350

It’s important to note,
that the training is done with a class.
Q: How do I arrange my
class schedule for that day?
A: When scheduling your classes, please keep in mind training is for primary and junior
classes.
Grades 1-2 – Sessions are
30 minutes long
Grades 3+ - Sessions are 45
minutes
Large schools(3 or more classes of each
grade)
If you have an overly large
school, it would be suggested to have 1 teacher from each grade trained and they can in turn train
others. Ideal class
schedule – Primary classes in the morning and junior grades in the afternoon.
