Skill-Based Progression
Structured Training + Fitness Development
Clear Pathway from Beginner to Elite Junior Golfer
How The Program Works
1. Start with Trial Class
Every junior begins with a trial lesson where coaches assess skill level.
2. Skill-Based Placement
Players are placed into one of four stages based on their ability, not age.
3. Progress the Levels
1-on-1 coaching style. Each stage includes fitness training, technical development, and skill tests.

First lesson with Jon exceeded my expectations. I have been working with many great golfers in my area however none of them were able to pick out the exact flaws of my swing. My first swing analysis and I'm back to solid contact that I haven't had in over a year.
