Get Started with Total Junior Golf Development Program

STEP 1 begins with scheduling a minimum of three (3) individual private golf  lessons with one of our PGA Certified Professionals. By offering support and encouragement through professional golf instruction, all of our staff instructors have significant experience teaching junior golfers. Junior golfers should experience a variety of opportunities to find their place within the game whether it be competitive golf or just pure enjoyment of the game. The best way to start learning the game!

STEP 2 understands that golf is a social game. Young golfers who learn, laugh, struggle, and improve together are more likely to continue. Taught by PGA Certified Instructor, Barry Churchill, our junior golf camps use “game based” learning techniques to assure the most fun while learning to play. With a 3:1 student to teacher ratio, topics include the rules of golf, safety, and course etiquette. How to execute short game and long game shots on the course. Group instruction works best for the junior golfer!

STEP 3 develops Junior Golfers from ages 6-18. Taught by our staff, Operation 36 Golf is a complete program designed for golfers of all levels. You have a weekly group class and play 9 holes each week. When you play 9 holes, you start by playing from 25 yards from the middle of the green. Your goal is to shoot 36 or less on 9 holes. Once you shoot 36 or less you move onto the next level. There is up to 10 levels, and you pass each level by shooting 36 or less on 9 holes. From their first round to shooting even par or better!

STEP 5 includes attendance in weekly advanced Clinic Series and registration into Play with The Pro dates hosted by Stonebridge Golf Club. Participation is open to boys and girls, grades 6-12, who have reached 150 yard mark in Operation 36 Golf program, have a 9-Hole scoring average under 50 on school team, or have an 18-Hole established handicap of 25 or lower. All clinics conducted by PGA Master Professional, Nick Jacobi.

STEP 6 is participation in the Carolinas Golf Association (CGA) which provides a schedule of competitions, support and benefits to golfers including amateur ranking points. The CGA is a not-for-profit educational organization founded in 1909 whose mission is to promote and to protect the game of golf in the Carolinas. Providing access to life-changing opportunities through the game of golf!

STEP 7 is participation in other junior golf events. A junior golfer will understand the reason to spend quality time practicing once they’re faced challenges on the golf course. Several non-profit, corporate, and affiliated Junior Golf Tours have events schedule at Stonebridge Golf Club throughout the 2023 season.

STEP 8 provides interested parties a quick and clear understanding of the player’s ability. Every Junior Golfer should have a current resume of their golfing, academic, and extracurricular activities and accomplishments. During today’s recruiting process, it is important to not only provide the right information to coaches but to give it in the right manner. Important things to find on a playing resume include tournament finishes and scores, golf rankings, instructor information and swing videos. Let’s get a playing resume started!
