BOGEY JUNIORS
(7 – 10 yrs. old)
We work hard with our Bogey Junior Players to communicate how and why certain
physical events (such as making “flush contact” with the ball) are made possible.
At this stage in the development of their swing, (especially if they have participated in our TOTS Program),
we simply want to instill a series of simple, fundamental, yet essential biomechanical movements into our Bogey Juniors’ swing mechanics.
We require our students to begin developing their swing without using a golf club; then we gradually
introduce a club, but still reinforce the concept that it is merely “an extension of their hands and arms”,
and that “everything must remain connected” to their body throughout the entire swing.
We strongly believe this is the foundation (of motion) from which a solid golf swing can be built.
Seeing them learn how to “move the club back and through the ball; not simply “slap at the ball” is our main goal.
