Through a supportive and competitive environment, the JPGA develops the qualities of commitment, goal setting and confidence for each student's personal, academic, and athletic growth. The dedication of the instructors to teaching and coaching, on and off the course, helps juniors become champions. The JPGA program includes mental conditioning and physical training as they are important to buildin
g golf athletes who can play more competitively. The goal is to offer juniors the opportunity to develop into accomplished athletes, successful at the collegiate level and beyond. Another integral part of the program is on-course instruction. The Instructor reinforces swing thoughts and provides in-depth course management. The JPGA educates the student on the importance of the 'Rules of Golf'. Taking the students on the course covers the more specific techniques that are used in course management and facilitates what is learned during practice to benefit performance. To produce champion golfers they must be capable of managing themselves on and off the course. The JPGA does not teach a strict swing method. Many teacher's and golf schools attempt to teach every student the same swing with the promise that if they can master the method or fit a certain model swing, there will be perfection at the end of the road. This cookie cutter approach to playing and learning is usually not very productive, especially for a young player who has already established his own personal style. The fact is there is no perfect swing that fits everybody. Proof of this can be seen as close as the television. There are many different swings being used successfully on the professional tours, but no matter their personal styles, they all share some common traits. These common denominators that all great players share are the true fundamentals of golf. The JPGA approach is to teach students individually based upon their specific needs. There is a margin left for individual styles and preferences, as long as the laws of ball flight are being observed. The coaching staff is trained to identify each student's individual needs in order to implement a plan for selfdevelopment. Having knowledge of the swing is a very important asset for an accomplished player to have. One of our goals is to teach the student to be their own best coach, be able to identify and diagnose their own game and understand what their personal strengths and weaknesses are. Golf is a game where one never stops learning. The JPGA will increase your knowledge level on the full swing, short game, mental management, and of course the most important aspect of all, learning how to score.
