LaunchPad (LP) kicks-off its new ‘Golf Leadership Program’ at Dobie Middle school. In partnership with the Physical Fitness Department at Dobie and Callaway Golf, the husband and wife LP team, Kevin and Dhustie Zervakos are leading the development and instruction effort. Mr. & Mrs. Zervackos met with every P.E class at Dobie to introduce the game of golf as a fun and challenging sport while communicating the important life lessons you can learn from the game. Eight to twelve stations consisting of putting and chipping were set-up around the gym for the hands-on demonstrations. The emphasis of certain life “core values” were communicated and demonstrated to show the students how they apply practically in life and on the golf course. The overall response from the student body was that “golf was more fun than they had originally thought”. Close to 200 students participated in the first LP Golf Leadership Program. The program will continue at Dobie and will be taught to every PE class every first and last Monday of each month.
