Kalispel Golf and Country Club brings NIKE Junior Golf Day Camps to Spokane under the direction of Head Golf Professional, Nick McCaslin, PGA.
February 18, 2020 – Kalispel Golf and Country Club, located in on the north side of Spokane, recently announced the addition of NIKE Junior Golf Camps to its summer programming schedule. Led by Camp Director and Head Golf Professional, Nick McCaslin, NIKE Junior Golf Camps at Kalispel Golf and Country Club are tailored to accommodate young golfers of all skill levels in a fun, positive environment.
McCaslin, a graduate of Mead High School and New Mexico State University, was named Inland Empire PGA Assistant Professional of the Year in 2015 and presented with the Inland Empire PGA Player Development Award in 2017. He is joined on staff for the camps by Kalispel’s esteemed collection of PGA Professionals including Kathy Gildersleeve-Jensen, Travis Huskisson, Les Blakley, and Gary Lindeblad.
“Kalispel Golf and Country Club is a first-rate golf facility and Nick has assembled a remarkable staff for these camps,” said Jason West, senior vice president for Nike Junior Golf Camps. We have a PGA National Teacher of the Year, a two-time PGA Golf Professional of the Year, and a Pacific Northwest Section PGA Hall of Fame inductee working the camps. You’d be hard-pressed to come up with a more qualified group of golf professionals in a junior camp setting anywhere.”
Kalispel Golf and Country Club is widely considered one of the best conditioned courses in the region. Founded in 1898 as the Spokane Country Club, the par 72 layout is bookended by the foothills of Rattlesnake Ridge and the Little Spokane River, and boasts 54 strategically placed bunkers and water hazards impacting seven holes. The property offers a large practice facility with full driving range, as well as a full-service restaurant and pro shop.
“Kalispel Golf and Country Club is dedicated to the growth of the game and we are very excited to partner with Nike Junior Golf Camps to bring camps to the Spokane area,” said McCaslin. “Junior golf camps, such as this, provide a safe, educational, structured, and fun environment for all skill levels to experience everything golf has to offer. The camp will deliver an opportunity for juniors to be introduced to the game or expand their existing skills through swing assessments, skill development, on-course play and fun competitions led by our award-winning team of PGA Professionals.”
Nike Junior Golf Camps, Kalispel Golf and Country Club will run two (2) sessions of Full Day camp this summer. Both sessions are geared for players of all skills, ages 9 to 17.
