BCC President’s Remarks:
BCC President, Israel Maynard, expressed his excitement: “We are really looking forward to welcoming Vermont’s next generation of golfers to our Club next week. There’s a common misconception that golf is an ‘old man’s game,’ but what’s happening at BCC, and throughout the state proves otherwise. We have the largest number of Junior Golf Memberships in Club history, and our junior programs are flourishing. And I’m proud to say that there are a handful of BCC Members amongst the qualified teams and individuals we’ll be watching on our course next week, including my son Teddy.”
Junior Golf at Burlington Country Club
BCC’s Junior Golf Membership program (for ages 16-25) is one of the fastest-growing segments at the Club. Evan Carty, BCC’s Junior Golf Professional, leads a year-round Junior Golf Academy that includes seasonal camps, clinics for beginners, after-school golf in the fall, winter indoor programs, and a successful Junior PGA League team. The program continues to nurture the next generation of golfers in Vermont, as witnessed by the many participants that will be competing in the State Tournament next week.
