Increasing Speed | Coordination | Athleticism

Many people don’t think golf is a sport, never mind that golfers need performance training or sports science.

On the surface, it is hard to argue with them. In the world of golf, we don’t even use the terms “sport science” or “performance training.” For some reason, we decided to call it “golf fitness” instead.

Group Coaching for Junior Golfers

Research tells us that learning with peers of similar ability can increase motivation and skill acquisition.

Although with Junior golfers, we know that they generally will focus best on one or two corrections at a time. In private lesson, it is easy to deviate from focusing on one or two corrections at a time. However, in group lessons the dynamics of instruction and interaction are different, thus better for the Junior golfer.

For example, by watching a peer successfully play a chip shot, the confidence and performance of the Junior golfer is shown to increase. This learning dynamic is especially true for beginner Junior golfers. This is because the skill of a coach is often non-relatable to the Junior golfer, but the skill of a peer is very relatable.

Best of all for Junior golfers is that they meet new friends and future playing partners.
