ABOUT THE 2017 JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAM
The JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAM at Western Lakes for 2017 will be divided into 2 (two) programs:
Program I
Program II
Grades 3 thru 10
Grades 1 thru 4
During the instruction/practice time of the program, students will rotate thru 5 (five) stations: Driver/Woods,
Irons/Hybrid, Pitching, Chipping/Bunker, Putting and Rules/Etiquette (taught throughout each group)
Students will be placed together in small groups (5-7 students) of like age/ability and receive instruction in each
golf area every week. This structured instruction will allow each student to maximize building their golf skills
and provide more personalized instruction.
Time on the golf course will be divided between actual play, structured instructional segments, and on course
demonstrations by golf staff which will allow instructors to teach concepts and cover parts of the golf game more
comprehensively than in the past. As always, student's age/ability will determine golf course content and group
formations.
This year our goal is to focus more on instruction, increased practice time at the various stations, present new ideas
and concepts not previously emphasized, and although this may decrease the actual time on the golf course, it will
allow for maximum retention of skills taught each session.
