One of the first things we do with a new player is an initial playing assessment. During this assessment, we grade a player on the 3 core areas needed to play good golf – ball control, decision making and self management. Once the assessment has been completed we sit down with the player and their parents to define goals and milestones based on their short term and long term needs. A player’s instruction is then prioritized based on the particular areas that require the most attention to achieve the goals defined within the timelines required. 

Being able to track a player’s progress between tournaments is essential. Each player is given a “road map” of the stats they need to achieve in order to meet their target score. These “road maps” are tailored to the particular profile of the player and provide a more granular breakdown of what a player needs to do when playing to achieve a certain score. After each round, the player reports back to their coach their stats for the round. This allows the coach to quickly adjust a player’s training program to address areas of concern.

Going from the range to the course is one step up and going from the course to competition is another step up. Pressure bursts pipes and often a player will exhibit very different tendencies when competing compared to playing casually. If we need a player to play well in competition then – as coaches – we need to observe the player in competition. Our competitive analyses cover everything the player does from the moment they set foot on the property – from the way they warm up to how they play and what they do after the round. Our assessment is presented to both the player and the parents and helps direct the focus of a player’s training regime.

Playing good golf is much more than how you swing a club. Less than 5% of golf is your swing and yet most players spend 95% of their time on the range hitting balls. We work with our players on the course – teaching them how to play their best golf by making good decisions, staying focused and managing their emotions. Through our partnership with Karl Morris – the leading performance coach on the DP World Tour – our coaches are constantly learning the best strategies for helping young players to overcome the mental hurdles that may be preventing them from achieving their potential.

Practice time for most junior golfers is limited by the requirements of school, homework, extracurricular activities and tournament play. As such, it is critical that any available practice time is used effectively to further the progress of the player. Our coaches work with our players to help them understand how to use their practice time in an effective, efficient and productive manner – from the appropriate allocation of time to each area of the game, to the drills and reps required in each session, to practice games that simulate the pressure of competition.

Our coaches are some of the best in the business. Not only have we coached elite players – from nationally ranked juniors to collegiate standouts and major winners – but all of our coaches have played competitive golf at the highest level so we know what it means to perform under pressure. Each of our coaches brings a different area of expertise to the mix – from swing instruction to short game and mental coaching to course management – so we have a coach who can help your child with every part of their game.
