JOHN “LJ” PARSONS wins 2009 Nippo Lake Junior Golf Membership


John “LJ” Parsons of Madbury was presented with a Certificate of Accomplishment for his essay about confidence and persistence at the 9th Annual Take a Child to the Course on Sunday, June 7th at Nippo Lake Golf Club.  LJ stated that “golf has taught me that it is necessary to set goals and take the needed steps to achieve them.”  He went on to say “Golf requires confidence and persistence as does achieving success in anything.  I know from playing golf that if I try enough times, I will eventually find success.”  LJ found success in both 2007 and 2008 when he won the Junior Club Championship in the 9-13 Division.  LJ will be entering his freshman year at Oyster River High School in the fall. 

Honorable mention was awarded to Gabriel Drapeau of Rochester.  Gabriel was awarded a private lesson with PGA Professional Chris Mowers.  8 area students submitted essays and Nippo Lake’s PGA Professional Chris Mowers determined the winner.
2009 Take A Child to the Course
Article by Chris Mowers

The 2009 Take A Child to the Course event was another success!  Thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers, over 100 Juniors participated in activities on the driving range, putting green, and on the modified 9 hole golf course for the Sunday afternoon event.  Nippo Lake Golf Club has become a "family friendly" facility for all ages and abilities.  From Rick Roger's consistently sold-out Junior Camps, to the summer Junior League, to the addition of the US Kids Family Course program (coming soon).  The US Kids Family Course will add two additional tees to each hole with official US Kids tee markers (coming soon) and a separate scorecard to give beginning golfers the complete golfing experience.  The kids and beginners will have more fun shooting lower scores and make Nippo Lake Golf Club a desirable destination for families to spend time together. 

In addition, the following specials are being offered:

"Tee" Day Special
Tuesdays & Thursdays :         $40 per person for 18 holes and a cart (all day)

Weekend Twilight Special
Saturdays & Sundays after 4pm : $12 for 9 holes
                                                     $20 for 18 holes
