Junior Golf Instruction

Building skills, confidence, and a love for the game one step at a time.

Welcome to the junior instruction page at SouthSide Golf Academy. I’m proud to work with young golfers of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to competitive players looking to take the next step in their development.

A Proven Track Record

One of the most rewarding parts of coaching juniors is watching them grow both as golfers and as people.

I’m proud to have coached multiple junior golfers who have gone on to succeed in high school and college golf, with one advancing to compete on the Latin America PGA Tour.

I have also now had seven former junior students become Class A PGA Professionals, and another former student has turned professional and plans to begin the PGA program soon.

My Approach to Junior Coaching

Junior lessons are not just smaller versions of adult lessons. Young golfers learn differently, develop physically over time, and need coaching that keeps them engaged while building strong fundamentals.

My junior instruction focuses on:

• Building sound fundamentals
• Developing confidence and athletic movement
• Creating a positive and enjoyable learning environment
• Teaching skills in a way that matches the player’s age and ability level
• Helping each junior grow from where they are now toward where they want to go

What Makes Junior Lessons Different?

Junior golfers need coaching that balances skill development with encouragement, patience, and age-appropriate communication.

• Engagement: Lessons are designed to keep juniors focused, active, and learning.
• Development: Swings and drills are taught with physical growth and coordination in mind.
• Confidence: Building belief and comfort is just as important as building mechanics.
• Progression: Each lesson helps create a pathway from beginner fundamentals to advanced performance.

Lesson Options and Clinics

Junior golfers can work with me through private lessons, lesson packages, and seasonal clinics depending on their goals and experience level.

Whether your child is just starting out or already competing, I want to help create a pathway for improvement, confidence, and long-term enjoyment of the game.
