Miami Valley Golf will administer three (3) High School Championships this fall and will need a great deal of community support to ensure these young golfers receive a wonderful experience. 

We will need volunteers in scoring, spotting, rules assistance as well as general operations.  If you are interested or know someone who is, please send an email to info@mvgolf.org or visit our submission page here. Previous experience is not needed. 

The three championships will be a Sectional at WGC Golf Course for Girls Division II on Monday, September 28th.  A Sectional for Boys Division II at Pipestone on Wednesday, September 30th and a District Championship on Wednesday, October 7th also at Pipestone Golf Course for Girls DII.

Thanks for your consideration!

Arm Chopping Power

The ability to deliver explosive speed with the arms is one of the most important aspects for power in the golf swing.  We call it the Arm-Chopping motion, because the arms need to start up over the trail shoulder and explosively fire down across the body to over the lead hip.  Many players tend to eliminate this power source by trying to keep their arms pinned to their chest during the downswing.  This may help improve accuracy but it will definitely limit power development.

One of our core beliefs at Miami Valley Golf is believing that every child deserves access to the life changing opportunities that our game can provide regardless of socioeconomic status.  

With that in mind, in 2018, we teamed up with Youth on Course to bring this national program to our Miami Valley area.  

Youth on Course members can play at participating courses for $5 or less during allotted times, after paying a small membership fee which is also $5. 

Our foundation (Miami Valley Golf Foundation) supports this program locally by supplementing the difference in green fees to the participating facility.  

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic we will need additional assistance as some of our opportunity for fund raising will not be available.  If possible, we encourage you to support this program.  

• When your score can’t be verified by another person
• While being coached on the course
• When you play using non-conforming clubs, non-conforming balls, or non-conforming tees;
• When you don't play the required number of holes, Less than 6 for 9, less than 14 for 18.  For the holes you haven’t played, you post net par for the hole.
• And when you are not playing your own ball — scrambles, shambles or foursomes (alternate shot).

And remember...A key tenet of the World Handicap System is that it is based on the fact that a you will try to make the best score at every hole in every round. 

So you post just about everything and that includes scores when you play Preferred Lies or adapting to modified Holes due to the Coronavirus !
