Golf Lessons at Lincoln!
Golf lessons will take place at Lincoln starting on Wednesday, November 8th and continue into January. Lessons will take place on Wednesdays from 12:00 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. Golf is available for students in grades third through eighth. The instructor, Mr. Dion Madkins is a Professional Golf Association Golfer, his mission is to bring self discipline to youth through golf, as well as scholarship opportunities to students that continue with the program and grow their skills. Mr. Madkins has held golf sessions at Lincoln since the Winter of 2023. The lessons are free of charge to Lincoln students, however students MUST attend each session. The lifelong skills that your child can garner through this opportunity are invaluable, and we are so happy to be able to provide this program to our students. Please fill out the google form below to sign your child up for golf lessons. Lessons start on November 15th, and students that miss more than one session will be dropped in order to secure spaces for serious "future golfers". Please reach out to Mrs. Bako with any questions.
