2022 Junior Golf Version and Future

Saw a comment on my junior golf post from last year. So, I’ll summarize this year and what my plan is next year.  Jr Camps, once again averaged 40 kids over 4 camps. Everything has gone well there. The instructors we have brought in from the outside comment on how simple, organized and smooth it is. We changed from serving chicken and cheese taquitos to having chicken nuggets.  The kids liked that move. Next year, I need to add more targets for kids to hit into and buy a dodgeball set. We h

Junior Golf

This year has been great!  A lot of work, but something I’ve needed to further my coaching career.  At my prior employment, the course was cart mandatory so junior golf was almost non existent. Now at a muni that has a great practice facility, junior golf is big.  This summer, I coached 2 13U PGA Jr League teams (24 players), ran (ongoing) 4 junior camps with around 40 kids each time, and the course held a Drive, Chip, and Putt qualifier.   Prior to the year, I completed ADM (American Devel

    • Interesting thought.  Today I shot 77, I passed 69 when I got to 17 green.  A few weeks ago I shot 74 from the senior tees, made it through 17 complete before getting to my age.
    • This isn't something that I track. But I just took a look at the last round I played. I made it through 12 holes. At which time I had exactly my age. 
    • I wonder who has the record for most times shooting your age - I would think there can't be anyone younger than Bernhard Langer who has done it more than he has, but there might be some 85 year olds around who've done it quite a bit along the way.  For those of us not yet advanced enough in age for it to be even feasible, I think it could be fun to track how far through a round you've made it by the time you hit your current age's shot. So if you're 55 say, then how far through the round ha
    • I actually shot a score from the senior tees earlier this year just 5 strokes over my age!  But YOU just have to get back to playing.
