The Development Model

More Than Lessons. A Complete Development System.

The D1 Program gives serious junior golfers one coordinated plan for coaching, practice, physical development, tournament preparation, and long-term progress. Instead of treating each area separately, the program keeps the player’s priorities connected throughout the year.

Program Fit

Designed for Players Ready to Work Within a Long-Term Plan.

  • Compete regularly and want their practice to connect directly to tournament performance.
  • Want consistent, year-round development rather than isolated periods of instruction.
  • Are pursuing competitive high-school, collegiate, or long-term performance goals.
  • Need greater structure, accountability, and clarity between coaching sessions.
  • Are prepared to practice and complete development work between sessions.
  • Want coaching that extends beyond swing mechanics.
  • Have parents who value a coordinated plan and an ongoing coaching relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Families Commonly Ask

Is the D1 Program only for players planning to play college golf?

No. The program is designed for serious junior golfers who want structured, year-round development. College golf may be part of the player’s goals, but it is not required.

How often are private lessons scheduled?

Private lessons are generally scheduled biweekly across the year, with timing adjusted when appropriate around competition, travel, development needs, and availability.

What happens during group training?

Group training may include technical development, short game, putting, performance skills, competitive practice, physical work, speed development, and structured training tasks.

Are tournament entry fees and travel included?

No. Tournament entry fees, travel, lodging, meals, outside facility fees, and other third-party expenses are not included unless specifically stated in a separate written agreement.

How are the six course-management lessons scheduled?

They are scheduled throughout the program based on the player’s tournament calendar, development needs, seasonal conditions, and course availability.

What does recruiting assistance include?

Recruiting assistance may include guidance on communication, player presentation, video, tournament scheduling, timelines, and preparing for conversations with college programs. It does not guarantee placement, offers, roster positions, or scholarships.

Is the program customized for each player?

Yes. The overall framework is consistent, but technical priorities, physical programming, practice direction, tournament planning, and long-term guidance are adjusted for the individual player.

Can a player join during the year?

Enrollment may be possible during the year when space is available and the program is a strong fit for the player and family.

What happens after we submit an inquiry?

You will be contacted to discuss the player’s background, current schedule, goals, level of commitment, and whether the D1 Program appears to be the right fit. The consultation is the next step, not an automatic enrollment.
