Junior Performance Coaching.

Long-term development for juniors, from first-time player to tournament ready to college placement. Built on three pillars: skill, decisions and emotional control.

Program philosophy

We coach the whole player, not just the swing.

Junior coaching is built on technical skill, decision-making and emotional control.

We focus on routines, on-course performance and purposeful skill development. Players learn to play, score and compete—not simply hit golf balls on the range.

How the junior pathway works

Progression by proficiency.
Not guesswork.

Every junior is placed and moves up as they meet real scoring and skill benchmarks—not simply because of age or how long they’ve been playing.

  1. 01

    Intro Call

    Understand the player, family goals and current level.

  2. 02

    Program Placement

    Placed in Stars, Champions or Collegiates by proficiency.

  3. 03

    Group & Private

    Group coaching with optional private sessions layered in.

  4. 04

    On-Course Training

    Real play and real scoring, because that’s where the game actually happens.

  5. 05

    Benchmarks & Progression

    Move up as real scoring standards are met.

The three tiers

Stars. Champions.
Collegiates.

A structured pathway from learning the game to competing and preparing for college golf.

Tier 1 · Ages 8–12+

Stars

Become golf-course ready.

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.

What makes it different

Not generic junior lessons.

  • Learning to play the real game of golf, not just build a pretty swing.
  • Progression with measurable benchmarks.
  • On-course application from day one.
  • Routines and accountability built in.
  • Long-term development, not short-term tips.
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.
