Parent Child Golf Schools
About Us
In 1991, I started the United States Schools of Golf. It was a small school, with only 2 national locations. A lot has changed since then, a wife, two boys, a lot of ups and downs in the golf industry, and a global recession. But teaching the game of golf has stayed a constant in my life. Today I run over 80 worldwide golf school and golf teachers training programs. The United States Golf Schools Junior Academy was launched in 2008.
I have been blessed with two wonderful boys. Golf has been a big part of mine and their growing up years. I have learned a lot about junior golf from them, and if I would have had a program like the Parent Child Golf School, it might have been a little easier. I might not have been so hard, had not have pushed so much, I might have been a little more gentle, enjoying them more as little boys, understanding that they grow up way to fast.
I got lucking because I could have done a lot of things better. They both have turned into wonderful young men, along with winning junior golf championships along the way. The being wonderful young men part means the most to me. I’m proud to say they are my best friends and not many Dads can say that about their 14 and 15 year old sons or daughters. I think they would say the same about me. This program will teach you how to develop a bond and respect for each other through golf.
My knowledge of the golf swing was second to none, but working with children was not like working with PGA Tour Players or LPGA Tour Players. I expected too much too fast looking back and this was dead wrong. Respect, enjoyment and fundamentals are what will take your child to the next level if that is where they want to go. Use golf as an avenue to spend quality time with your child, who knows has good they can get if you give them the correct practice habits in a gentle caring way. I have seen so many parents upset with their kids at golf tournament because there kid played bad. Well first, this is wrong, secondly what do they expect, the kid doesn’t know how to practice correctly and the parent has no idea how to show them. That is what the Parent Child Golf Schools will teach you and your child.
This program will teach you to enjoy the time you have with your child, giving them the best chance to grow as a person and golfer at their own pace, not yours. We will teach you how not to burn them out and ruin that parent child relationship. Because if your too hard it will destroy that bond that we all look for in a parent child relationship.
If a golf scholarship comes from your time with your child then great. If they turn pro then great, it is a bonus. But our goal at Parent Child Golf Schools is to help you learn to spend quality time building a relationship that will last a life time with your child doing something you both enjoy. As well as improving both of your golf games.
In the early years, I traveled the country working with many different golf schools and many great instructors.I was fascinated with those students that benefited from the experience and was baffled by the ones that saw little or no improvement. I set out to examine and research the cause of this very question: Why where some golf schools and instructors getting positive results, why other school students seemed to have little or no improvement. What are the successful students doing differently than those getting little or no improvement? The answers I came up are simpler than you may think:
A) the successful students focused on simplified fundamentals as opposed to complex theories and systems.
B) The successful students were taught with individualized instruction from an experienced qualified teacher.
C) The successful students were taught to focus on what they were feeling as to thinking about mechanics during the swing. Getting drills and correct practice habits to learn these feelings.
D) The successful student was given a simple custom program to take home and taught how to practice properly once the school ended.
The United States Golf Schools Parent Child Program is centered on assisting the student in these three primary areas listed above.
Our golf instruction is communicated in a simple, understandable, and concerned manner. We never stray from the fundamental that benchmark our success. You and your child will build a foundation based on proven principals producing a golf swing with just a few basic thoughts. You will be taught with a 4-to-1 or less student-to-teacher ratio. You can even choose the amount of individualized attention you want to suit your own needs.
In addition all of our instructors are either past or present tour players, PGA Members, USGTF, and PGTCA qualified instructors logging in at least 20 years of instruction. We are dedicated to bringing you quality teachers. Our unique "one of a kind" programs are personalized by your instructor. That's right, when you come to our school your instructor will custom make a simplified practice plan for you and your child to work on together as a team, even putting the whole plan on DVD for you to take home. You will receive a personal locker of both your swings which can be reviewed and shared with friends and family.
This has been the recipe for success of thousands of my students, some PGA Tour Players, some LPGA Tour Player, some State Amateur Champions, and some High School State Champion. But my best success and my greatest joy as a golf instructor lie with my two boys: Alan 14 and Ryan 15 both have turned into great golfers and even more important great young men. The hours spent with them on the golf course are priceless. This program is to help you use golf as an avenue to build a bond with your child as they grow into adulthood. You will learn from my success as well as my faults in raising a child to compete in golf or just enjoy a life time of pleasure from this great game.
