Well, our club Tranås GK will be focusing more on junior golf development and recruitment for the upcoming season (2011). In addition to the Long Term Athletic Development plan that we started in 2009, we will be adding recruitment into the local primary schools as part of the development. Currently, we have between 75-85 juniors in training and with adding almost 90 hours in recruitment we will be meeting as many as 600 kids (many who have never touched a golf club). If we can get the kids to buy into our goals (1) Golf is Fun (2) Kids fit in at Tranås Golf Club (3) Kids are good it golf (4) Kids will meet their friends at the golf course (5) Golf feels good...we believe that we can create life-long golfers.
When the kids enter our program, they are assigned a "Hat Color." As they develop, the hat color and numbers will change and the kids move through 4 basic levels (a) Little Juniors (b) Beginner Golfers (c) Junior Golfers (d) Junior Champions.
Our program does not resemble the norm with kids lined up on the range wacking (or rolling) 7 irons off the tee. We have many stations and the kids move through each station in about 5 minutes or so. Check out a clip below:
