Coaches will learn how to engage families with full services as a community based golf club like they would find at their local swim, soccer club etc.
Learning outcomes and points of interest include:
- Understanding an holistic approach to golf coaching i.e. Competition preparation, yearly training plans, parent education and the inclusion of the four LTAD performance pillars; Mental, physical, tactical and technical in their program offerings.
