Golf is a safe, long term sport that teaches life skills, such as sharing, turn-taking and other important strategies like problem solving. Golf also promotes concepts like playing within the rules, good sportsmanship, etiquette and physical literacy which is "the motivation, confidence, physical competence, understanding and knowledge to maintain physical activity at an individually appropriate level throughout life" (Whitehead, 2006).

​

This is the holistic learning that gives children and young people:

• physical skills and fitness;

• the attitudes and emotions that motivate them to be active;

• the social skills to be active with others; and

• the knowledge and understanding of how, why and when you move.

 

MyGolf Weekly Junior Clinics facilitate age and skill appropriate participation and development in a fun and relaxed environment. Each child will commence at a level that reflects their confidence and ability. This skills based assessment of where to commence the learning journey considers their goals, age, physical literacy and ability.

​

The 'Launcher' allows for full shots, pitching and chipping to be played off a small rubber mat and tee called the 'Launch Pad". The children learn to hit fluffy tennis balls over small distances towards large velcro targets and flags, making golf easier and lots more fun. The 'Roller' is used to putt the ball towards triangular velcro targets to score points!
