The Delta School district now has three unique Golf Academy Programs.  The first program was established in the North end through Seaquam Secondary and has recently developed a new relationship with Mayfair Lakes Golf Club.  The second program was developed to accommodate all of the student golfers from South Delta Secondary School and worked to collaborate and continue the long history of success with strong junior golf at Beach Grove Golf Club.  The third Golf Academy has been launched to make golf in school more accessible as we were turning students away every year because of limited space.  In hopes to give opportunity to those students and to specifically serve the Ladner area, we are making Delta Secondary School the home of our third Golf Academy where we will meet for fitness and practice planning in the morning and then travel to Mayfair Lakes for Golf instruction.    All three programs are organized by our Delta School District Teacher Coordinator Bryce Hamade, in conjunction with Beach Grove Golf Club or Mayfair Lakes Golf Academy coaches.  The Golf Academies take students of all abilities and will work with them to learn and improve the skills necessary to lower their scoring potential and enjoy competitive golf.  Every second day students are picked up in the morning or at lunch by school transportation and driven to either  Beach Grove Golf Club or Mayfair Lakes Golf and Country Club.  During that time students will learn and practice golf for two blocks during the school day for full course credits!  Please note that the golf programs only have space for 15 students each.
