Years 9 to 13 Students

The Program is based on developing the skills that lead to growing a love for the game and making playing golf achievable for everyone. 

More than just coaching, the program is about meeting the needs of players and parents by including Competition, Organized Practice and Social Elements. The students don’t just teach golf I build a whole golf environment that inspires and motivates players to immerse themselves in the game.

Through the Wellness golf program young players develop all the skills necessary to have fun on the golf course. More than just technical golf skills; It includes development of tactical skills, key physical skills, and the development of behavioral traits to love playing the game.

I aim to ensure that players are ready both physically and emotionally to love the challenges that come with playing our game.

Session Structure

A 45 minute session typically encompasses of;

10 Minute Review from the previous week and Warm Up based on working on two of the physical competencies that link to skill we are focusing on this week

20 Minutes of Skills Content working towards the technical and tactical competencies in the Skill cards e.g Golf hitting to targets at 30 and 50 meters, fun hitting – use demonstration

10 minutes of Competitive Play linked to the skills from the other parts of the lesson .e.g Scoring game into the target zones, focus on balance.

For longer sessions the format should be the same but each block can be made longer.

5 minutes Reflection – what was learnt and most importantly what was the most fun.
