ACADEMY SPOTLIGHT
Once kids show proficiency in skill development and are excelling at the basics , we offer to move them up to our Cadet Masters Clinics . Also conducted on Sundays during the school year , our Cadet Masters clinics take game-based learning a step farther and begins to introduce on course play , score keeping , etc . with the intent of making these golfers ready for the course . These are the young golfers that we also recommend for our 13U PGA Jr . League Spring and Fall seasons . We conduct 2 Cadet Masters Clinics each week of 90 minutes . Attendance is limited to 12 per clinic and we rarely have openings .
The next step beyond Cadet Masters is our Elite Junior Program . Our Elite program is invite only based on performance in our other clinics or from referral from other coaches or students . The Elite Program is for the Jr . High or High School golfer who is trying to become a better tournament player . Our Elite Program includes all of the following :
• 3 Hours of Supervised practice per week from August thru April ( 8 months )
• Practice Privileges at Troon North
• Troon Junior Club membership that features rounds of golf at Troon North for $ 15 after 3:00 PM daily
• Monthly Supervised 9-hole round with Coaches
• PING Interclub team membership OR PGA Jr . League Team Membership depending on Age .
Our Elite program feeds our competitive teams at Troon North . We participate in both 13U and 17U PGA Jr . League and had 6 total teams this past Spring . We also compete in the PING Jr . Interclub series against other courses throughout Arizona . We field two teams for PING Interclub each Spring . One of our teams has won our division 2 of the past 3 seasons and finished top 5 in the state each year .
Adult Player Development and Women ’ s Golf Programs
Our Adult Player Development and Women ’ s Golf Programs follow a similar game plan . We have our entry level Get Into Golf programs open to all levels of golfer . We would sell packages of clinics in 3 , 6 , or 10 clinic intervals and conduct a 10-week program on all aspects of the game from the green backward to the tee box . From there , we would offer an Advanced Fundamentals session that was a 4-week monthly program that concluded with a supervised 9 hole round of golf . Finally , we offer a weekly Playing Clinic on Wednesday afternoons to work on course management , club selection , and error correction .
Our Women ’ s program was very similar with on major difference . Our entry level clinic was based on golf as a social game . We conduct a highly successful clinic called Mulligans andMartinis which is a 45-minute clinic followed by happy hour in our Grille . We have a wait list for these sessions every week ! From there , we would suggest our Saturday Women ’ s clinics for anyone looking for a bit more instruction and then follow that with our Friday Women on Course program where we spend 2 hours on course helping everyone get more comfortable playing the game of golf .
