Junior Golf

Beginning Junior Golfers

60 minute class for beginning juniors, ages 4 thru 13

Through drills, games, and purposeful practice, beginning students from 4 to 13 years of age learn basic ball-striking skills associated with putting, chipping, pitching, and the full swing.

In this class, the goal is to have fun, expose the student to the game of golf, and help the student acquire the ability and understanding needed to effectively play a 100-yard golf hole.

Our goal is to teach each beginning junior how to:

• Complete our 6-hole Junior Putting Course in 12 shots or less.
• Effectively chip the ball onto the putting green.
• Effectively pitch the ball to a 25-yard marker.
• Consistently drive the ball at least 75 yards onto a 40-yard wide fairway.

Once the student has mastered these basic skills, he or she can move on tothe Intermediate Junior Class and learn how to actually play golf!

Range balls during scheduled classes are included in the monthly rate and if needed we’ll provide the clubs. This beginning class is the perfect way to introduce juniors to the game of golf.

Intermediate Junior Golfers

90 minute class for juniors with at least intermediate ball-striking skills. Recommended ages 7 through 13

In the Intermediate Junior Golf Class, the sessions are expanded to 90 minutes and the students are coached both at the practice facility and on the Goose Creek course.

In each class participants are divided into small groups based on their age and skill level. The student to coach ratio is normally 4 to 1. Each student is given individual instruction and the opportunity to progress at their own rate. On the Goose Creek Golf Course, students learn playing skills, proper golf course etiquette, and the basic rules of golf. At the practice facility, students further develop their putting, chipping, pitching, and full swing skills.

Students are given an on-course Skills Test & Practice Tournament each month. Every time a student achieves a scoring benchmark, he or she is awarded either a star or a different colored hat. As students progress, they are challenged to play holes from longer distances.

Parents or relatives are encouraged to caddy for their son or daughter and enjoy the experience of helping them through the learning process.

What does my child need to bring to class?

Please have them bring a water bottle, sun block, and proper clothing for the current weather conditions. Golf shoes and golf gloves are not necessary.

Does my child need to bring golf clubs to the Beginning Golfer or Junior Golfer classes?

If your child has golf clubs, please bring them. If not, we’ll provide them.

What happens when there’s bad weather?

If the weather is really bad, we’ll cancel the session and offer a makeup class at a later date.

What is your absent policy?

We understand many families have vacation and holiday plans making it impossible for their child to attend class for 12, or even 4, consecutive weeks. If you’re unable to attend a class, just let us know in advance and we’ll schedule a makeup session.

If I sign-up for 12 sessions and my child doesn’t like golf can I cancel?

Certainly.

Are your classes limited in size?

Yes. Initially, each class will be limited to 12 students.
