Golf and Life Skills Development
Indoor golf lessons at Golf Shots for Kids. We specialize in indoor golf lessons for beginners and junior golfers of all ages. Our program goes beyond just the technical aspects of the game. We also emphasize the important life skills and ethical elements that are integral to the tradition and history of golf, such as respect, honesty, teamwork, perseverance, goal setting, emotional regulation, and focus.
About
This program was developed to align to the Learn to Play curriculum with the Long-Term Player Development (LTPD 2.0) Guide for Golf developed by the PGA of Canada and Golf Canada.
The Learn to Play Curriculum is a framework to develop junior players through four stages that align with the various stages of the Long-Term Player Development Guide.
This curriculum is designed to expose players to age/stage appropriate content through an identified set of core modules that are applicable to each stage of the curriculum.
In order to progress through each stage, the participants will need to demonstrate that they have reached certain objectives.
The Six Core Modules
Each stage of the Learn to Play curriculum has six different
“core modules” that the PGA of Canada professional,
coach or instructor will utilize to enhance the
participant’s learning experience.
- 1. Golf safety, etiquette and rules
- 2. Golf Specific Movement Skills
- 3. Skill Development: full swing, chipping, and putting
- 4. On Course Play: elements that prepare golfers for on course play
- 5. Mind Matters: imagery, performance preparation, self
talk, performance cues and focus - 6. Life Skills: ethical elements that uphold the tradition and history of golf, including respect, honesty, teamwork, perseverance, goal setting, emotional regulation and focus.
For each of the six core modules of the Learn to Play curriculum, specific skills or topics to cover are presented, along with the objectives of the elements to be reached by the participants.
