Golf Coach

**Ages:** 8-12 

**Schedule:** Saturday, 10am-12pm 

**Format:** Single Day Program

This dynamic junior golf program is thoughtfully designed around **Level One** and elements of **Level Two** of Golf’s American Development Model (ADM). While primarily focused on **Discover, Learn & Play** (Level 1), we incorporate appropriate aspects of **Develop & Challenge** (Level 2) to support the natural overlap for kids ages 10-12. This ensures every child receives age-appropriate instruction while allowing more advanced or older participants in the group to be gently challenged.

### What Your Child Will Experience:

- **Discover**: Kids will explore the game through fun, engaging activities — trying different clubs, experiencing the joy of hitting shots, and learning basic rules and etiquette in a relaxed, pressure-free setting.
- **Learn**: Strong emphasis on golf fundamentals including grip, posture, swing mechanics, putting, chipping, and full swing development. We use fun drills, games, and properly sized equipment to build solid technique and coordination.
- **Play**: A major focus of every session! Kids will play fun on-course simulator games, short-hole formats, team challenges, and scoring activities to apply their skills in real golf situations and build confidence.
- **Develop & Challenge (for ages 10-12)**: Older or more experienced kids in the group will be introduced to slightly more advanced concepts such as basic course management, simple shot shaping, increased focus on consistency, and more competitive games. This helps bridge the gap for those ready for the next stage of development without overwhelming younger participants.

### Program Highlights:

- Small group format for personalized coaching and attention
- Daily balance of skill drills and games
- Strong focus on fun, confidence building, sportsmanship, and making friends
- Development of movement skills, hand-eye coordination, and a lifelong love of golf
- Progressive challenges tailored to each child’s age and ability within the 8–12 range
- Led by experienced junior golf instructors following PGA/USGA American Development Model best practices

By the end of the day, children will leave with a strong foundation in golf, improved skills, new friendships, and the excitement to keep playing. This blended approach ensures the program meets kids where they are developmentally — whether they’re just discovering the game or starting to challenge themselves further.

Sonoma Junior Golf Week - July 20 - 24

## 🎯 Swinging the Club Like a Golfer

**Unlock a Smooth, Natural, and Effortless Motion**

Stop thinking about a thousand different mechanics and start feeling a true, athletic golf swing. This high-impact clinic focuses on moving the club as a single fluid unit to generate effortless speed and consistent, crisp contact. Training in our state-of-the-art simulator bay allows us to measure and record your movement so you can clearly see—and feel—the difference between "hacking" at the ball and swinging like a golfer.

📋 **What You Will Learn**

- **The Takeaway**: Master a wide, connected backswing that sets the club on the perfect path right from the start.
- **The Body Rotation**: Learn how to coil your torso and hips correctly to build massive core power without straining your muscles.
- **The Follow-Through**: Program a balanced, full finish that ensures you accelerate all the way through impact.

🏌️‍♂️ **Why This Class Matters**

Many players try to hit the ball using only their hands and arms, resulting in a frustrating loss of power and frequent mishits. Swinging the club "like a golfer" means utilizing your entire body efficiently. By connecting your rotation to the club's natural momentum, you will hit the ball further and much more consistently with half the effort.

📊 **Class Features & Details**

- **Video Motion Analysis**: See your swing sequence side-by-side with professional models to spot your biggest areas of improvement.
- **State-of-the-Art Data**: Track your club path and swing tempo using our high-speed cameras to verify your progress instantly.
- **Feel-Based Drills**: Practice simple, memorable swing thoughts and drills that transfer seamlessly from the indoor bay to the golf course.

🗓️ **Booking Information**

- **Skill Level**: Ideal for all levels of golfers. Ideally designed for advanced beginners trying to get the ball airborne, and intermediate players struggling with their swing.
- **Duration**: 90 Minutes
- **What to Bring**: Bring your own 7-iron, hybrid, or driver (rental clubs available if needed).

## 🎯 Controlling Ball Flight

**Master Your Club Path and Face Angle Through Impact**

Take total ownership of your ball flight and stop guessing where your shots will land. This advanced-level clinic breaks down the exact physics of impact, teaching you how minor adjustments to your swing can instantly alter your ball's trajectory and curve. Using our state-of-the-art simulator data, you will look past the symptoms of your swing to master the only two metrics that truly dictate ball flight: club path and face angle.

📋 **What You Will Learn**

- **Face vs. Path Dynamics**: Understand the "New Ball Flight Laws" to diagnose exactly why your ball curves left, right, or flies dead straight.
- **Squaring the Face**: Discover how your hands, wrists, and forearm rotation control the clubface through the crucial hitting zone.
- **Manipulating the Path**: Learn actionable swing adjustments to intentionally swing inside-out or outside-in to shape your shots at will.

🏌️‍♂️ **Why This Class Matters**

Every shot you hit is a direct math equation solved at impact. If you cannot control where your clubface is pointing relative to the direction your club is moving, you cannot control your ball. By learning to purposefully manipulate these parameters, you will eliminate your big miss, neutralize a heavy slice or hook, and start attacking pins with confidence.

📊 **Class Features & Details**

- **Live Launch Monitor Metrics**: Analyze precise, real-time data readouts of your face-to-path relationship on every single swing.
- **Shaping Challenges**: Participate in interactive simulator target drills designed to test your ability to hit draws and fades on command.
- **Impact Zone Visuals**: View ultra-high-speed impact camera replays to physically see how your club interacts with the ball.

🗓️ **Booking Information**

- **Skill Level**: Recommended for intermediate to advanced golfers who already have a consistent setup and want to lower their handicap.
- **Duration**: 90 Minutes
- **What to Bring**: Bring your driver and the mid-iron (6-iron or 7-iron) you use most frequently.
