Junior Golf Program
About the Program
The U.S. Kids Golf Learning Program offers a tried-and-tested approach for introducing golf to young players. As participants progress through ten levels, the program gradually increases in difficulty. To aid both coaches and parents, the program provides comprehensive booklets that serve as a framework.
These booklets offer detailed instructions and examples of various forms and skills. Each level incorporates five core areas: Putting, Around the Green, Full Swing, Knowledge, and Scoring. To encourage players to advance through all the levels, they are rewarded with achievement pins upon completing the checkpoints associated with each level.
To successfully complete a level, players must play nine holes and achieve the required score based on their respective level. This requirement ensures that players demonstrate proficiency and understanding as they move forward in the program.
