After-School Junior Golf Program

A terrific after-school program that teaches youngsters about the game of golf through organized and fun progressive sessions.  This program is designed for beginning and intermediate golfing juniors ages 4 to 12 and involves both golf skill and golf fitness activities that are key in developing motor skills with athletic movement golf games and activities.  Juniors are grouped by age (4-6, 7-9 10-12 with the ability to move up with instructor approval).  Older juniors focus more on skill acquisition, rules/etiquette and the game while younger juniors focus more on safety, skills, athletic movement, Sticker Challenges, basics and more.  Both groups play on the course during various portions of the program and Juniors ages 7-12 will follow curriculum and challenges from U.S. Kids Golf.

The golf portion allows juniors to work on all aspects of the games with fun challenges in each area or putting, short game, swing, sportsmanship and knowledge.  The golf portion includes 10 golf sessions, a Goody Bag, skills sessions and games and 3 Make-Up's. 

The golf fitness portion involves active stations in various categories such as locomotive skills (running, jumping, skipping, hopping), stability skills (agility, balance, coordination), object control (throw, kick, dribble) and awareness (body awareness, space awareness).  This portion is based on the popular Titleist Performance Institute Junior program and the PGA Junior Sports Academy...

Each session also includes a Group Huddle that reviews a golf / life skill important to a youngster's development socially and athletically. 

Students choose either the Wednesday series or the Thursday series.
