Junior Golf at Blackberry Golf Club
Whether you’re looking to introduce a child to the game of golf for the first time or are seeking opportunities to further develop existing skills, we have a junior golf option for you. Our PGA Director of Instruction, Scott, has created year round programs for fun and learning about the game of golf. He has worked with some of the best junior players in the area.
Each program will cover all aspects of the golf swing while ensuring each golfer learns proper etiquette and safety while on the course. Each day of the program has an emphasis on one of the important aspects of the swing including grip, stance, posture, aim, and tempo. Each session will have multiple stations, keeping the student-to-coach ratio small. The stations will be a combination of full swing (irons and drivers), chipping, short and lag putting.
We believe golf is not just a sport, it's an experience. Our goal is to make each session enjoyable and memorable, fostering a genuine love for the game in every junior. The learning is made enjoyable through a variety of games and challenges. These activities not only reinforce golf skills but also promote teamwork, strategic thinking, and a love for physical activity.
Winter 2024-2025 Programs and registration will be released in December.
