Swing Start Golf debuts at the Casper Recreation Center

The new program teaches golf fundamentals to interested Casper youth.

Casper, Wyoming (January 5, 2025) The Casper Recreation Center is partnering with the Community Recreation Foundation and Casper Municipal Golf Course to introduce Swing Start Golf, a golf instruction program for youth.  Two sessions are scheduled.  The first session starts on January 14.  “We are bringing golf professionals to the Casper Recreation Center to give hands-on instruction in the fundamentals of golf to youth ages 7-16,” explained Dr. Nicholas Whipps, recreation manager.  Each session is limited to 15 participants per age group.

Whipps went on to say that Swing Start Golf is an example of Casper’s commitment to providing inclusive activities that enhance the quality of life for all residents. “This is more than a recreation program—it’s an investment in Casper’s youth.  The small group setting offers an engaging and personalized opportunity to learn and spark interest in the lifetime sport of golf,” said Whipps.  The Community Recreation Foundation is providing scholarships and funding specialized equipment to provide an interactive environment for this program.  The Casper Municipal Golf Course golf professionals will be instructing.  “By having scholarships available to cover the full cost of the program, we are trying to eliminate a barrier to participation,” reported Whipps.
