Our coaches will develop and implement a coaching strategy to elevate your game. Jonathan Yarwood, Director of Golf, and his coaching staff focus on developing strong skills. Yarwood assists each instructor in aiding each student’s ability to take practice skills to a competitive tournament environment. Bringing with them years of industry experience and world-class backgrounds, our coaches will develop better players, not just a better golf swing. All coaching staff undertake an IJGA workbook training program created and administered by Yarwood. This program covers everything from brand standards of operation to analysis, communication, course management, child behavior and many other aspects that contribute to becoming a great teacher. There are three levels starting with an overview level, moving into greater depth of study in level two, culminating in master level where a coach has to move the envelope to create a new area of research and results relevant to junior golf.
