Our instructors are trained to evaluate the talent level of each individual to maximize their learning experience. We strive to create not only golf s next superstars, but junior golfers who can grow up enjoying this great game. Our program strives to create a fun environment that emphasizes athletic development, as well as a focus on all aspects of the game, including full swing, pitching, chipping, putting, the rules of golf, and course etiquette. Parent s Guide to Junior Golf Every golfer who has children has envisioned their child as the next Tiger like phenomenon. The desire to see your child succeed in a sport you love can put goose bumps on the back of your neck. The problem with this vision is that most parents have no idea how to get their kids to LOVE golf first! For their child to be as great as the superstars they watch on Sunday, they must LOVE to play the game of golf and everything that comes with it! We have developed your Parent s Guide to Junior Golf so you will know exactly how to get your child to love golf. Follow these simple principles and you will develop a playing partner for life!
