Jenna has a passion for getting people into golf by making the game easier, fun and accessible. With a mission to get younger people introduced to the game earlier as well as getting more women into the game.

Junior players will benefit from Gulf Harbour's world class practice facilities, SNAG Gear and our indoor teaching room with flight scope. This is an opportunity to inspire junior players as they learn the game of golf in a fun and safe environment.

Level 1: Red Hat Group Sunday 11:00am – 12:00pm

The Red Hat Group is the starting point for juniors who are just starting out in the game and who seek basic skills and an understanding of golf. The focus is on fun and safety, as well as the fundamentals of putting, pitching, chipping and full shots. On the first session of every month there will be a mini golf tournament with a 9 hole SNAG golf course set up on the range where your kids can show us what they have got and you will see how far they have come.
