The three tiers
Stars. Champions.
Collegiates.
A structured pathway from learning the game to competing and preparing for college golf.
For kids learning to play the game, including those who’ve never picked up a club. Build the foundational skills and confidence to play with family, friends and eventually competitively if they choose.
- Group coaching with optional private sessions.
- Short game, full swing and on-course training.
- Par-36 scoring benchmarks across graduated course lengths: 25, 50, 75 and 100 yards.
- Learning to play the game, not just hit the ball.
Tier 2 · Ages 8–13+
Champions
Become tournament ready.
For newer competitive golfers developing scoring and tournament habits. Progression is measured by real scoring on real courses, not swing checkpoints.
- Par-36 scoring benchmarks across 900-, 1,350- and 1,800-yard course lengths.
- Hole distances stepping up from 100 → 150 → 200 yards.
- Proficiency testing at every stage.
- Competition preparation, routines and course management.
Tier 3 · Ages 11–17
Collegiates
Become college ready.
For middle school and high school players pursuing advanced competitive golf. Coach Patrick has helped 120+ juniors achieve college placement over 20 years, with academic and athletic pathways for every level of player.
- Tournament preparation and scoring development.
- Decision-making and pressure performance.
- College placement through scholarship and non-scholarship pathways.
- Mental preparation for high-stakes competition.
Age ranges guide the pathway. Placement and progression are based on proficiency and scoring standards.
Three pillars in action
Developing the whole player.
01
Technical Skill
The ability to hit the specific shots required at each level, from 25 yards to full tournament distances.
02
Decision Making
Choose the right play for the current skill level. Learn to avoid the big number and build the ability to bounce back when things go wrong.
03
Emotional Control
Develop composure under pressure, trust a repeatable routine and build a mindset that translates into competition.
