Junior Programs
The Vail Golf Club is excited to be a part of The First Tee of Eagle County program, sponsored by the Vail Valley Youth Foundation, joining several other courses in the valley. First tee participants, ages 6 through 17, learn valuable lessons about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude; how to make decisions by thinking about the possible consequences; how to define and set goals; and how to transfer values such as responsibility, honesty, integrity, respect, confidence and sportsmanship from the golf course to everyday life. These lessons are taught through a variety of golf-related activities, designed with the primary goal of having fun. The First Tee program takes place mid- June through August and costs $60 per child. For more information, contact Vail Golf Club Director Alice Plain or call 970-479-2260.

Golf Swing Analysis
Jeanne Sutherland, PGA Professional and Head Golf Pro at the Vail Golf Club, has incorporated the latest in video technology into her coaching techniques to help local and visiting golfers improve the mechanics of their swings. The Vertex Golf analysis machine utilizes multiple cameras, sound and light and captures in real-time and slow motion a golfer’s swing, recording it to video. A myriad of features are then available to Sutherland to help coach a player, including head movement analysis, sway line study, swing plane breakdown and launch velocity tracking. Swing analysis lessons are available by appointment only. Call 970-479-2260 for details.
