Junior Golf @ The Ridge GC

Our junior golf development program will take Juniors through all development levels of golf. Athletic swing motions, short game skills and controlled putting. Our Learn to Play Golf (LTPG) program will get juniors on the course and teach them how to play and score.

We recommend the group semester schedule for most juniors wanting to learn or improve, and private sessions for the advanced / tournament players.

Each 4-week program we will cover the same subjects, but we will work with each junior on their own levels. The program consists of 4 classes along with a course day to test their skills at the end of the program. Repeating multiple programs will reinforce the information and allow the instructor to develop the golfer.

For Juniors wanting to improve on a specific subject of the game, they are more than welcome to drop in on a single class. Call the Golf Shop for the schedule and class availability.

Classes will involve instruction for:

• Week 1: Putting- Fundamentals, Distance Control, Green Reading, Skills Contest
• Week 2: Short Game- Fundamentals, Chip & Pitch, Distance Control, Skills Contest
• Week 3: Full Swing Shots- Fundamentals, Athletic Swing, Drills for Improvement
• Week 4: On Course Play- Learn to Play Program, Scoring PAR from different distances

All classes are 10am - 11:30am
