Being a 'naturally sporty' child isn't a necessity to enjoy golf and the Sapphire Coast Golf School’s Junior Program is designed to improve skill level and confidence, while of course having heaps of fun!
Golf is great exercise and a very disciplined sport which teaches honesty, respect and good manners, which hopefully continues into our every-day life.
Our Sapphire Coast Golf School's Junior Golf Program is a structured eight‑week program, which runs in line with the NSW school terms on Wednesday afternoons at Tura Beach Country Club, where we teach the children:
• Swing technique
• Chipping
• Bunkers
• Putting
• Golf course etiquette
• Basic understanding of golf rules
Our Junior Golf Program is divided into three age groups:
• Nemos (3-6 years old)
• Starfish (6-10 years old)
• Whales (12-17 years old)
Fun
Above all, it’s imperative that any activity is fun and engaging for juniors to keep them involved and excited about golf. Juniors, particularly at the introductory level, are looking for fun with their friends and to try golf.
Life skills
Children are introduced to valuable life skills throughout the Program that will assist them on the course and in everyday life. Each level of the program focuses on developing two specific skills such as respect, sportsmanship and perseverance.
Games
Using games is the best way for juniors to learn and develop skills while still having fun. The Program encourages learning through fun, team-based inclusive games and activities which allow for skill repetition and progression.
Simplicity
The essence of the Program is for juniors to enjoy golf and to learn and develop new motor and life skills along the way. It’s important from the outset – regardless of age or ability – that we enforce the idea that golf is simple and easy to understand.
Parents
Parents are encouraged to come along and watch their child and we would like to remind all parents to allow us, as professionals, to have their child's full attention, as this helps them learn and improve. Kids need the time and space when we're not directly coaching them one on one, to learn by their mistakes and figure things out for themselves to help their development.
