Your children said they want to learn how to play golf. Or, maybe you want to introduce them to the game. Now what?

Have your children expressed an interest in learning golf? If they’re already golfers, are they ready to take their game to the next level?

O’Connor Junior Golf Training Programs are available for kids ages 3 to 18, and for beginner and serious golfers alike.

Beginners typically start with a Junior Clinic or the Junior Developmental Program to get the basics, and then move onto private lessons.

More advanced golfers looking to elevate their game to a new level can apply for acceptance into the Gold Plus Junior Program … a program developed for the serious golfer in mind. As you’ll see in the Student Hall of Fame, many students of the Gold Plus Junior Program have gone on to become State and Professional Golf Champions, PGA and LPGA teaching professionals, and coaches.

Bring your children in for a free evaluation and we will recommend the best program to meet their needs.
