Junior Linkers (Ages 8-10) "Building Skills One Swing at a Time"

Focus: The Junior Linkers program is designed for young golfers who are ready to build upon the fundamentals introduced in Junior Birdies. While age serves as a general guideline, advancement to this level is based on skill development and readiness. This program focuses on refining full-swing mechanics, short game (putting and chipping), and basic course strategy. Juniors will also begin learning on-course etiquette, safety, and sportsmanship to prepare them for more independent play. The program encourages game-based learning to keep sessions engaging while reinforcing proper technique and fundamental movement patterns. Juniors will develop consistent contact, better club control, and a deeper understanding of golf rules and terminology throughout the program. To ensure readiness for the next stage, players will complete a safety, etiquette, and basic rules exam, along with an on-course evaluation. By the end of the program, juniors will have a solid foundation in etiquette, safety, and core skills. Those ready for the next challenge will progress to the Next Level Golfers program, where structured practice and goal-setting become key components. Cost: $190 per participant

Next Level Golfers: "Taking your game to the next level!" (Generally Ages 11-13, but skill-dependent) - Full Swing/Body Awareness

This program is built for junior golfers who are ready to go beyond the basics and truly own their swing. Designed around ADM principles, each session focuses on developing athletic movement, body awareness, and consistent technique—helping players understand not just what to do, but why it works. Players will train in key areas like: • Full Swing fundamentals & body control • Short game creativity and touch • Putting consistency and confidence Every session introduces new drills, challenges, and skills—giving juniors the tools to improve, practice with purpose, and build real confidence on the course. Progression is skill-based, meaning players move forward when they’re ready—not just when time runs out. This creates a pathway for long-term development and lasting results. If your junior is motivated to improve and ready for a deeper understanding of the game, this is where they take the next step.

High School Prep (Ages 14-17)

The High School Prep program is designed for players ages 14–17 who are preparing for high school golf or looking to compete with greater confidence and consistency. This program emphasizes developing reliable ball-striking, improved short game skills, and smarter on-course decision-making. Following ADM principles, sessions will focus on refining swing fundamentals, controlling trajectory and distance, sharpening scoring shots around the green, and understanding course management strategies used in competitive play. Players will also learn practice habits, pre-shot routines, and mental approaches that translate directly to tournament and team golf. Each session provides a focused, supportive environment that challenges players while helping them build confidence under pressure.
