Summer Golf Clinic – Minutemen, do you like to play golf? If so, the Morehead City Country Club is offering a Junior Clinic this summer for boys and girls ages 6-11. They are also offering an Advanced Golf Clinic for boys and girls ages 12-up. These summer long clinics offer high quality instruction at a very reasonable price. It would be a great way to learn how to play golf if you are interested in trying out for the golf team. It would also be an excellent way to improve the skill you have.
