How Junior Golf Program at Dollar Academy Help Young Players Develop

What makes a young golfer truly confident on the course? Is it skill, strategy, or something more? Imagine a place where practice meets adventure, where players can challenge themselves on varied courses, develop their technique with expert guidance, and grow both as athletes and individuals.

Our Junior Golf Program is designed to do just that, giving young golfers the environment and support they need to discover their full potential. And in this blog you will know why? 

A Home Away from Home

Our campers stay in the historic boarding houses of Dollar Golf Academy, which offer a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. Evening relax in an open space while participating in group recreational programs or simply unwind in the gardens/ lounge area.

There is Wi-Fi throughout the boarding houses, as well as restrooms, shower facilities, kitchens, dining areas, and computer rooms. The combination of the facilities offered ensures that the campers are comfortable and well-connected. Providing a safe and secure environment plays a major role in the campers' success when performing on the course; therefore, our pastoral staff is always available to assist the campers during their stay.

Diverse Courses for Complete Development

Our campers have the opportunity to play on a variety of golf courses throughout Fife and the Dollar area, which makes this aspect of our program one of the highlights. The variety of golf courses, such as Links Courses and Inland Parkland Courses, will help develop adaptability and understanding of the game.

Links courses, such as Lundin Links, provide firm fairways, wide-open spaces, and the added difficulty of playing into high winds coming off the ocean. As young golfers play links courses, they will learn to control the elements, learn how to accurately gauge their distances, and become strategic thinkers.

Inland parkland courses located near Dollar provide players with tree-lined fairways where they will focus more on shooting straight, shaping their shots to the hole, and managing the golf course.

By providing campers with opportunities to play on both types of golf courses, campers will develop better skills within their golf games, so they can handle any situation they encounter on the course, whether it is a Links or Inland Parkland Course, with confidence. Therefore, they will be able to adapt to whatever fresh challenges they meet in the future.

Coaching That Focuses on Every Aspect

The Elmwood Golf Club offers a comprehensive, nurturing coaching atmosphere. At Elmwood Golf Club, the dedicated training venue for our camp, campers have access to all the facilities they need to improve their game, including an 18-hole parkland course, driving ranges, short-game areas, indoor teaching studios, and all-weather bays.

Campers will have the opportunity to practice all areas of their game, from hitting long drives to delicate putting, regardless of what kind of conditions may exist outside.

Our professional coaching staff will work with each individual camper to help them learn how to improve their game at a pace that is appropriate for their game. For example, campers could learn about technique, course strategy, and mental fitness through structured practice sessions as well as by gaining on-course experience. In this manner, campers will learn not only how to make a shot but also the thought process that they must go through in order to make important decisions during the course of play.

Daily Routine That Balances Learning and Fun

Our organized junior golf schools strive to have campers engaged, challenged, and given all kinds of opportunities for support. A typical day begins at 7:30 A.M. with the “Rise & Shine!” and it ends at 10:00 P.M. with the “Shower & Lights Out!” In between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 10:00 P.M., there are several different activities: breakfast, coaching sessions, practice, lunch, tee-offs, dinner, and evening entertainment.

We find that building a good balance of golf training as well as time to relax and socialize is the best way to allow players to recharge from a long day of training. Our pastoral team is available at all times, providing support and guidance to ensure that every camper feels comfortable while they are on the premises. The combination of structured training and more casual social time helps young golfers to develop as both golfers and young adults.
