This is the first post on the Weston Jr. Golf blog. I'd thought I'd kick things off with a post about what I think the most important thing every Jr. Program needs..... FUN!
I remember back when I took my first Jr. Camp, I had an instructor who was nick named the Drill Sargent. The camp went from 8 am to 1 pm, we did drills from 830 to 12 every day! To say the least it wasn't the most fun camp in the world but looking back I did learn something... I would never do the same thing.
My philosophy is pretty simple when it comes to Jr. Golf, keep them safe, and let then have fun! Whether it is dog ball to warm up or it is letting them try to hit me while I drive the range picker. FUN IS KEY! Some may think that trying to hit the range picker is fooling around. Next time you are at the range ask a Jr. to try and hit the picker. The level of concentration, and the quality of the shots they hit is night and day vs regular swings.
At Weston our goal is to make the Jr.'s better golfers, but we want to make sure they stay golfers. The snow should be melting soon, and our winter academy is in full swing. Come in and say hi, we would love to chat golf.
