Golf camp at Superior Country Club
The Superior Country Club hosted a youth golf camp Thursday and Friday. Young golfers from Nuckolls and Thayer counties participated in the event. The girls and boys ages ranged from five to 13 years.
The camp kicked off with a representative from Brodstone Memorial Hospital advising them of the benefits of sunscreen and the hazards of prolonged exposure to the sun.
The campers were presented with an introduction to the game of golf as well as its history. They were given individualized instruction for driving the ball, chipping and putting. After the instruction, they took to the course to actually play one hole of golf. Students provided their own golf clubs.
The campers were divided into age groups, five to eight, nine to 10 and 11 to 13. They took part in a drive chip putt contest which was scored using a national standard.
Several coaches provided the instruction for the camp. Rayne Biltoft, Ron Thayer, Emma Henderson, Jim and John Peterson, Adam Sunday, Brad Baker, Ryan Henderson and Kirk Utecht volunteered their expertise.
The first day ended with a water balloon fight. The campers then cooled off under the course sprinkler system.
The second day consisted of further practice. Brodstone Memorial Hospital representatives grilled hot dogs for lunch.
