The LPGA-USGA Girls Golf of Greater Newark is a developmental junior golf program designed for girls ages 7-17 and in partnership with Union County conducts programs at Galloping Hill Learning Center. It was formed to create a network for girls to learn to play golf, build friendships and sample competition in a positive and supportive learning environment. Participants are instructed by staff mem
bers of the LPGA-USGA Girls Golf in both golf and Life Skills that will benefit them off and on the course. Each week these principles will be reinforced through golf instruction. The classes at Galloping Hill are taught at The Learning Center with 52 stalls, 20 of which are covered and heated, 46,000 square feet of putting and chipping areas, practice bunkers and a 9 hole practice course.
