Improving Junior Golfers

Helping junior golfers become better players is something I've enjoyed for the 26 years I've been teaching.  They have a thirst for the game and can't wait to get better every day.  Helping them with their attitude, emotions and short game is a good recipe for lowering their scores.  Getting junior golfers to understand the importance of a positive attitude and keeping their emotions in check will go a long ways in their development.  So many times, good rounds are ruined when just one bad shot consumes them to where they head south mentally for the remainder of the round.
Junior golfers with good short games are way ahead of their competition.  Knowing that you don't have to hit it perfect every round to shoot good scores takes so much pressure off your game at any level.  I work hard to instill good practice habits with my juniors in the short game department.  It's not an area that most don't like to work on.
