Joe Richer Jr. Golf Club

The Joe Richer Golf Club provides an affordable opportunity to learn and play golf for junior golfers of all income levels and ability. One of the larger youth golf programs in Washington State, the program is named in honor of Joe Richer, who bypassed a possible career on the pro golf tour in favor of a lifetime of teaching, counseling and coaching Everett area youth. He touched thousands of young lives in his 3 decade tenure at Everett High School before passing away at the early age of 55. A foundation set up in his name helps provide funding for the club and aids with financial assistance for individual junior golfers if funding is not available to participate.

The club is divided into two groups, The Players Club and Players in Training. Open to youth ages 8 – 18. Outside the program a junior golfer must be at least 12 years of age to play Walter Hall or Legion Memorial Golf Courses without an adult accompanying them. The golf Professional at each course may waive the minimum age requirement to play the course or play without an adult with proven golf and etiquette skills and golf maturity as may be demonstrated in this program.
