Burnaby's
junior golf development programs give young golfers the opportunity to
receive proper instruction on how to play the game, including rules and
etiquette. Besides offering an excellent outlet for youthful energy, the
game of golf teaches valuable communication skills and self-discipline while
evoking the spirit of competition. The game's rules, etiquette and sense of
fair play reinforce life skills that young golfers can carry into everyday
situations off the course.
