Director – Kimberly Dickinson

Kim is avid golfer and has been playing since she was 7-8 years old. She was taught to play with family and grew playing mostly with her grandparents. She competed competitively in high school in Vermont where she grew up. Kim is not native to Merrimack but is building a life here now after moving to town in 2023. She wanted to start a program to encourage her son, Sam, to have more interest in the sport and try to engage other kids in the community to learn the sport. Golf is a lifelong sport, to be enjoyed at all skill levels, from young to old. Kim will be one of the Spring 2025 coaches and she hopes that she can share her passion for the sport with all of Merrimack.

As a family, we’ve always enjoyed the game of golf. My son has been swinging a club since he was two, and it’s become a cherished pastime for us. I am an active member of the MYA baseball board and have coached baseball in town for the past five seasons. I’ve also volunteered as a soccer coach for MYA and am involved in various school activities. In my free time, I enjoy watching my son play hockey, spending time outdoors, traveling with my family, and, of course, golfing with my husband and son!
