MEET AT SBGC Instruction Area at the Driving Range

Working on long and short components of golf skills

Putting mechanics- pendulum motion, quiet hands, eyes over the golf ball; “reading the green”, stroking vs hitting the putt; distance control

Chipping mechanics- partial swing rotation (half circle vs full, slow-motion movement, no hinge, hinge and hold, hinge and re-hinge)

Full Swing mechanics- Dynamic components (moving parts) of the golf swing; creating leverage- wrist hinge...lower body rotation (pivot)

Clubs: pitching wedge, 7 iron, (longer too...no hybrids or woods)

Every shot must have a purpose...shoot at targets

Evaluations of junior golf skills and abilities to determine group color (Red, White, & Blue). Coaches will select qualified White group juniors to participate with Blue groups on Wednesdays.

Typically take juniors out on the golf course once every 6-7 sessions to play golf.  We review order of play; rules, etiquette (how to behave, politeness), penalty areas (lateral, sand, out of bounds)
