The Junior Lesson Program at Muskego Lakes CC is the most popular junior golf program in the Milwaukee area. It has received awards of excellence from the PGA of Wisconsin, Golf Foundation of Wisconsin and the National Golf Course Owners Association. This is due to many factors that include: limited class size, hands on individual help at each lesson, parental involvement, lessons that include playing golf as part of the experience and having the same lead instructor, Lee Kaczmarek, for the past 20 years.
New for the 2010 season:
Head teacher, Lee Kaczmarek has developed a "NEW LEARNING METHOD" based on recent scientific discoveries relating to how people learn. It is estimated that your child's learning curve will be at least twice as fast, and could be as much as ten times faster than traditional learning systems. It is believed that there is no other golf learning program in the world using this newly created system. You will be amazed at how quickly your child will progress. Their success should inspire them to continue their participation in the world's GREATEST game! ( This learning system has been used in a few isolated areas of the world to teach tennis, soccer, baseball and music with unbelievable success, but has not been used to teach golf, until now!)
Due to the quality of the program, we must offer last year’s participants first right of refusal before we can open up the remaining spots to new participants. A waiting list is always in place to define the order of new participant acceptance. After February 1st applications already received from new golfers will be placed in the appropriate classes.
Our Junior Lesson Program is open to children of ages 6 to 17. For those children new to the game, and between the ages of 6 & 8, the "Pee Wee" program on Monday or Tuesday mornings from 10:30 to 12:00 is for them. For those that have been playing for a couple of years or are 8 or older, we have classes on Monday, Tuesdays, or Thursdays called our "Beginner or Intermediate" groups. Both groups partake in lessons together but the Intermediates play four holes on the regulation course from the forward tees, while the "Beginners" play six holes on our special Beginners' course. To qualify for the Intermediate group, the child must be able to consistently hit the ball into the air and be able to play each of the four holes in 15 minutes or less within a foursome. To qualify for the Advanced group, (Tuesdays or Thursdays at 11:45) a child must average below 65 for nine holes on a regulation course. This group plays nine holes on our regulation course for five of the eight lessons. The present scoring ability of your child will be used to determine into which of the three groups your child is placed.
If you have a returning player to the program, the postcard you have already received indicates what class level your son/daughter has been assigned to for the upcoming season. Throughout the season, we do move children from one ability level to another within the same day, whether it is because of improvement or a misunderstanding of your child’s skills. The maximum number of students per class is 32 for Beginners and Intermediates combined, and 20 for each Advanced class. If you cannot make the lesson on your scheduled day, you can make it up the same week on one of the other days. Please contact either of your child’s instructors for specific makeup days and times. To make up a lesson that includes playing golf, the parent may be asked to be available on the make up day for scoring purposes.
When golf is scheduled after the lesson, the kids are placed in foursomes. This is where the parental involvement comes in. One time per season, we ask the parent to score-keep and monitor the pace of their child’s group. This parental involvement is one of the things that separate the quality of our program from the rest in the area. We will NOT put any Beginner or Intermediate group on the course without an adult scorekeeper. Therefore, we need your assistance in this matter. You will be expected to sign up for your scoring date on the application form. Scoring dates are awarded on a first come, first served basis. Please check the Web site calendar to be assured your first choice date is available before returning your child’s application. You will be allowed to sign up for additional scoring dates only after the class has been filled and if scoring opportunities remain.

- These beginners will have a real treat learning to play golf with a specially designed system for the beginner golfer. It is called "Snag Golf." It is very hard for a younger person to swing a metal club with a small clubface and accomplish much more than contact and the hitting of ground balls. Snag Golf is a full system with training aids. We supply the clubs that have a fiberglass shaft and a plastic head that is four times larger than a regular club. The balls are a smaller version of a tennis ball. This makes for ease of contact and flight. The students use these clubs to learn the golf swing and also to play golf holes. The hole is a Velcro cylinder that the ball will stick to upon contact. There are many teaching aids that we use and for the younger person it is a great way to have fun while learning how to play the game. As the lessons progress, we will then introduce them to real golf clubs and balls. This system will be shown to you at the REQUIRED MEETING for all new registrants.
- Parent scoring participation is an absolute necessity for the Muskego Lakes Country club Junior Program to be successful. This is why we charge a higher price for those kids where the parent cannot score-keep. Your assistance with this important facet of our program is greatly appreciated. Failure to show on your scoring date will prevent a foursome of children from playing on that date. Please, you are responsible for obtaining a substitute scorer if you are unable to meet your obligation.
- Parents Meeting: Wednesday, May 12th or Tuesday, May 18th at 6:30 PM. Required for parents whose child is new to the program. Optional for parents of returning golfers who may have questions or concerns. The meeting will be held in the upper level banquet hall.
