(After-school activities) ASWING Junior Golf Program, Savannah

Friday, August 11th, 2023

Golf programs for children, teens in Savannah

The Golf Swing Studio in Savannah runs a year-round junior golf program known as A.S.W.I.NG. for junior golfers of all skill levels between the ages of 6-12.

This great initiative not only gets your junior active and moving but also ignites their passion for golf from an early age.

Start your child on a lifelong journey with the game. And part of the coaching will be developing the young players’ ABCs of movement – Agility, Balance, Coordination and Speed – first. These four skills, identified by movement experts, are critical to learning any sport. In fact, children won’t acquire all these skills by only playing golf.

If that’s something you’d like for your child, sign them up for the ASWING Junior Golf Program in Savannah here.

SouthCoast Health: Clearing the Confusion on Breastfeeding

Tuesday, August 8th, 2023


SouthCoast Health’s Nurse Practitioner Lactation Specialist Haley Dickerson wants to change the fact that only 29 percent of babies are breastfed during their first 12 months.

“Breastfeeding is a natural thing, but it doesn’t come natural to everyone,” Dickerson explained. “I can even speak from personal experience. I didn’t breastfeed my first child, because I had no experience in doing so. But when I became a nurse practitioner with SouthCoast Health and started working with our lactation consultants, I was able to successfully breastfeed my second child. The same can happen for any mom who has the right guidance.”  

To help guide mothers who are considering breastfeeding, Dickerson answers questions commonly asked in her practice. See the Q&A here.

If you have any other questions about breastfeeding or if you’d like to meet with one of SouthCoast Health’s talented and qualified lactation specialties, call SouthCoast Health’s Richmond Hill pediatric office today at 912-527-5352.
