Junior Golf Launch Pad – Intro to Golf Class (Ages 6–11)

A fun and active introduction to golf for kids ages 6–12

Hosted by PGA Professional Cesar Balgañon II at Sewailo Golf Club

Who is this program for?

The Junior Golf Launch Pad is designed for beginner junior golfers between the ages of 6 and 11 who are brand new to the game or have very limited experience. This offering is family-friendly, welcoming, and focused on fun, movement, and learning, not competition or perfection.

No prior experience is required, and golf equipment is provided for those who don’t have clubs.

Is it beginner or advanced?

This is a beginner-level program. We introduce the fundamentals of grip, stance, swing, putting, chipping, and how to safely navigate a golf facility. Each class is designed to be encouraging, engaging, and fun for younger learners.

Family-Friendly and Age Restrictions

This program is family-friendly and encourages parent involvement. Parents are welcome to stay and watch from designated areas.

Age requirement: 6 to 12 years old

Do participants need equipment?

No equipment is required. Clubs will be provided for all juniors who don’t have their own. Comfortable athletic shoes, sun protection, and a water bottle are recommended.
