Teaching a junior requires different methods and vocabulary.  At a young age the number one goal is to create distance. 
As golf continues to evolve hitting it far is the most important ideal.  To instill confidence and commitment in every player is the task. 
In other words a FEARLESS GOLFER. Developing any athlete requires patience and effort.
Lessons will include short game (chipping and pitching), putting and full swing. 
We work together as a team with a large dose of positive encouragement and self worth.

EQUIPMENT:

When thinking about new clubs for their child, parents need to consider the following.

• HEIGHT and CLUB LENGTH: The first step is to measure how tall the child is.  Club length will impact the player’s setup, posture and grip.
• SHAFT FLEX: PLEASE do not just cut down adult clubs.  The shaft will become so rigid and the child will struggle getting the ball in the air.  At the early ages KIDS need the shaft to bend and help get the ball into the air.
• LOFT: Kids will enjoy the game much more if they are getting the ball into the air on a regular basis.  Having additional (15 degrees or more) degrees of loft on their driver will help your child have more fun.
• WEIGHT: Kids need clubs that are matched to their strength and swing speed.  A stronger child needs a club with more weight to help control their swing.
• TYPE: In my opinion the best maker of junior clubs is  US KIDS GOLF

Wisconsin Golf Academy will fit your child to what is best for them.  1 FREE club with the purchase of 6.
