Golf is a game of a lifetime. Creating passion and love for the game early on is critical to long term enjoyment, and creating an environment that is focused on fun, age and stage-appropriate activities for juniors has proven to be an effective way of achieving this. The undisputed leader in developing juniors in our area is the London Junior Golf Development Centre.
As one of 20 certified National Junior Golf Development Centres, the London Junior Golf Development Centre benefits players, families, coaches and golf facilities. The centre’s innovative programming provides athletes and families with choice by providing a systematic approach to developing junior golfers of any age or ability.
The London Junior Golf Development Centre offers a variety of programming options including:
- PGA Junior Leagues: providing juniors the opportunity to learn and play the game as a team through team practice and competition with other teams
- Girls Club London: a great opportunity for girls to experience golf in a fun and engaging “girls only” setting. Girls Club teaches golf skills while building self-esteem in a non-intimidating, friendly environment
- PGA Junior Golf Camps: these week-long summer camps teach juniors the fundamentals of golf through a clear developmental pathway, learning the game both in practice and daily course play
- Team London Golf: this comprehensive year-round coaching program supports an athlete’s development of their physical, mental, tactical and technical golf skills.
Leading the surge in these innovative programs is award winning, NCCP certified coach and member of PGA of Canada, Head Coach Brian Gallant. Brian and his coaching team not only have the training and certification, but also the passion and dedication to teach, create and develop a life-long enjoyment of the sport in your junior golfer.
The London Junior Golf Development Centre welcomes you and your family, regardless of experience or equipment, to start golfing this season. For more information or to register, visit us at www.londonjuniorgolf.com.
