Bunker station

Sand play often produce a variety of bad shots ranging from barely advancing the ball to thinning the ball so far that you have to yell “fore” at your playing partners. The camp will focus on ball position, set up, generating momentum, using the bounce of the wedge, using different wedges and finally distance control. 25 minutes a day.

Driving Range station

Students will work on the fundamental components of a great golf swing including grip, stance, posture, alignment, takeaway, impact and follow through positioning. PGA pro’s will take the juniors through the entire golf bag from short irons up to the driver! This station will even feature a long drive contest! 25 minutes a day.

Chipping & Pitching station

Most golfers know that in order to shave strokes off your score, you have to perfect your chipping and pitching. The C&P station will provide the foundation for hitting crisp, clean chips and pitches. We’ll be perfect shots like the bump and run - flop shots - green side chips and a variety of pitch shot distances. 25 minutes a day.

Putting station

If you want to shoot lower scores on the golf course – improve your putting. Camp participants will learn the importance of face angle and loft, stroke path direction/length and tempo. With this knowledge we’ll definitely produce some great putters. 25 minutes a day.
