Get Them Into the Swing of Things
Golf training sessions encompass team-based challenges with high levels of player interaction, goal quests, games, and activities that bring out each child’s creativity, problem-solving skills, engineering capabilities, communication and team management, and skill development. As a goal-focused alternative, we also offer a more technique-driven roadmap that caters to students who aspire to play at the tournament level. Juniors in this group can expect more intensive instruction, more drills than games, and specialized on-course time.
