Exciting News: Move to Falcon Crest

I am so excited to share with all of my Clients, Supporters and Junior Golfers that I have acquired a teaching position at Falcon Crest Golf Club.

Starting next week all of my lessons and junior programs will be conducted at Falcon Crest GC!! Falcon Crest and myself are thrilled to grow and expand on my current junior golf programs and I am looking forward to the best year yet for the juniors!

Fortunately, I have had the opportunity to speak with many of you- my students and parents at spring practice this week and want to sincerely thank you for your support of this move and for sharing my excitement with me.

All spring class days and times will remain the same, only they will be held up the road at Falcon Crest. We will meet by the putting green next week (week of May 19th).

If you have registered, or will be registering for a summer class please note classes will no longer be held at Boise Ranch Golf Course.

I am thankful to Boise Ranch for allowing me to begin my teaching career there and for allowing me to start the beginning of this incredible ride I envisioned many years ago to involve so many juniors in golf! I could not be happier and never imagined how incredible and fulfilling my career-path would be as every day the juniors have more fun than the last, tackle new obstacles and we come together to accomplish goals - which are only evolving each day.

The Junior League will be transferred to Robin Hood @ Falcon Crest and will be held Monday evenings at 6:00pm starting June 10th, and commencing August 19th with the Club Championship. Starting next week you may sign up for the league at the Falcon Crest pro shop.

On Saturday June 1st I will be holding a FREE Junior Clinic at 2pm at Falcon Crest Golf Club. As space is limited please call and register in the pro shop if interested! #208-362-8897.

This will also be the perfect time to also register for the Junior League, Summer Classes, ask any questions and participate in a fun and enjoyable Saturday afternoon. Clinic open to Juniors of all ages and abilities. Limited number of junior clubs will be available for use during the clinic.

Thank you!
Erica

Student of the Week!

Student of the Week: Hannah Dupay
Age 10


  
Hannah Dupay of Boise, Idaho is named Student of the Week. Despite recent foot surgery in March, Dupay has maintained her goals for the year in golf and an inspiring practice regime. With mom Lisha by her side every step of the way, Hannah comes for lessons every week. 

Dupay's favorite club is a 9-iron which she hits about 110 yards. Her favorite color of golf ball to play is pink and her favorite quote is "Drive for show, putt for dough." 

When Hannah grows up if she is not a golfer she aspires to be a research pharmacist. Dupay would also like to help people with cancer and find cures for cancer. 

Dupay was introduced to golf by her grandpa at the age of 2 or 3. Hannah recalls practicing her putting with her grandpa at a young age. Now at age 10, she practices at the golf course 3x a week and practices at home. 

Hannah's goals this year are to win State and the Diamond Cup. Her long-term goal is to be on the PGA Tour and shoot a 59 on 18-holes. 

Hannah Dupay sinks her putt.
