To grow a sport, you need to get youngsters excited about it. That’s exactly what two local club professionals — Kevin Walker at North Conway Country Club and Bobby McGraw at the Eagle Mountain House — have been doing for years. Both love sharing their knowledge and passion for the game of golf and have helped thousands pick up a club for the first time.

The junior program began at NCCC in 1990 under the guidance of Larry Gallagher, the club pro at the time. He ran a five-week program for children aged 5-17, concentrating on all aspects of the sport from the short game to golf etiquette.
