Junior Golf Camp at Harbor Club: A Week to Remember

Golf enthusiasts, young and old, know that mastering the game of golf requires patience, skill, and the right equipment. Harbor Club hosted a memorable Junior Golf Camp this summer, where budding golfers learned, played, and grew in a supportive and fun environment. Whether the children picked up a club for the first time or refined their skills, our camp offered an exciting opportunity for young golfers to thrive.

A Week of Learning and Fun

The camp was structured to provide a comprehensive golfing experience over four days. Each day was packed with activities designed to teach golf fundamentals, improve technique, and instill a love for the game. Here’s a look back at what the young golfers experienced:

Getting Fitted by the Best

The week kicked off with US Kids Golf on-site for complimentary club fittings. Having clubs that are the right size and weight is crucial for young players, and our partnership with US Kids Golf ensured that each child got the best start possible. Proper fitting made a significant difference in their performance and comfort.

Key Areas of Focus

To help young golfers develop a well-rounded game, our camp emphasized three crucial areas of practice:

1. Putting

Putting is vital as it makes up a significant portion of the game. The campers worked on consistency and accuracy with short putts (3-6 feet) and practiced lag putting to improve distance control. Additionally, they learned how to read the slope and speed of the greens to enhance their putting accuracy.

2. Short Game (Chipping and Pitching)

The short game is essential for lowering scores and getting up and down from around the greens. Campers practiced chipping from various lies and distances to improve their ability to get the ball close to the hole. They also worked on different pitching shots with varying trajectories and spent time mastering bunker shots to gain confidence.

3. Full Swing (Driving and Iron Play)

Improving the full swing helps golfers hit more fairways and greens. Campers practiced driving to increase distance and accuracy off the tee and worked on hitting crisp iron shots with consistent contact and precision. Regular checks on swing fundamentals, such as grip, stance, and alignment, ensured a solid and repeatable swing.

An Unforgettable Experience

The camp was a fantastic week of golf, friendship, and unforgettable memories at Harbor Club. Whether the children dreamed of becoming the next golf champion like Tiger or Phil or wanted to enjoy a new sport, our camp was the perfect place to start.

“Our experienced instructors were passionate about teaching and committed to providing every camper a fun, safe, and enriching environment. We look forward to hosting more young golfers in the future and continuing to foster a love for the game,” said Doug Price, Harbor Club Golf Professional.
