Coaches
Darren Rowland – PGA
Having an extensive background in Junior Golf Coaching and Programs, I have always enjoyed working with juniors and have taken great pride in watching their development over many years. I have run many junior programs at several facilities across Melbourne over the last 20 years.
Format
Junior golf clinics are available in either 30 or 60 minute duration. The clinics cover a range of topics including both short and long game topics throughout the term.
The program operates on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday, each week at varies times. Start times are determined according to the age and/or skill of each child. Golf course play may be made available to juniors as part of the program at suitable times throughout the term.
Clinic Content
Practical clinic sessions will alternate between long and short game sessions, developing drills and exercises to improve swing technique. Skills tests will be used to maintain interest and help measure improvement as well as participation in games and fun activities. On course sessions will be used to focus on issues such as rules and etiquette, different styles of competition and scoring, club and shot selection, mental skills and strategies.
Juniors will need to reach a satisfactory level before being invited to participate in on course sessions. What do Clinics Cost?
30 minute clinics are priced at $17 per child/per week and 60 minute clinics are priced at $22 per child/per week. Clinics are paid on a term by term basis; at the start of each term.
