SportsGolfSNAG GOLFSNAG® stands for Starting New at Golf. It is a FUN game that is EASY to learn and can be played ANYWHERE. SNAG® contains all the elements of golf but in a modified form. Falling somewhere between miniature golf and regulation golf, SNAG® allows for full shots, pitching, chipping, and putting. It is a proven learning and training tool for en-try level golfers. The game has its own sim-plified rules and terminology, SNAGology as we call it, that adds fun to the learning and playing experience.

MAP & COMPASS CLASSWhether you are going hiking, boating, fishing or hunting; you should always know how to get where you want to go. And even more important, how to return. This one half day program will teach you the basics of how to read a map and use a compass. Then refine your skills as we hike around the park. This is a parent and child class.
