Hello everyone,

JUNIOR CLINICS
August 2026!
Welcome Back!
We’re excited to announce that registration for our August Saturday Junior Clinics is now open! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back and continue helping your junior golfers develop their skills while growing their love for the game.
For those juniors preparing to try out for their Jr. High or High School golf teams, we wish you the very best of luck. We hope all of your hard work pays off!
August Class Schedule
- Ages 5–8 (Little Tots): 7:00–8:00 AM
- Ages 9–12: 8:15–9:15 AM
- Ages 13 & Up: 9:30–10:30 AM
As temperatures remain warm, we’ll haveextra water and umbrellas available to provide additional shade. Please also send your junior with a water bottle so they arrive well-hydrated and ready to learn.
Makeup Opportunities
We understand that family schedules can be busy, so we’re excited to offer two convenient makeup options to help every junior stay on track if they need to miss a Saturday clinic. (In the event of an emergency, please contact me directly. 480-204-6558)
Option 1: Attend our Monthly Makeup Clinic, held on the third Tuesday of each month from 4:30–5:30 PM. This is a great opportunity to review key fundamentals, continue developing skills, and stay connected with the program.
Option 2: Schedule a 30-minute private lesson with myself for an additional $20. This provides more individualized instruction and allows your junior to receive personalized feedback while making up a missed session.
We’re excited to provide these opportunities so every junior has multiple ways to continue progressing throughout the season.
Attached below is the is the registration link for the month of August
