NORCROSS, Ga. – The U.S. Kids Golf Certified Coach program for the spring of 2017 features ten seminars around the United States beginning with two in conjunction with the PGA Show January 27th and 28th. USKG Certified Coach Seminars provide golf professionals with research based content and tools designed to help them deliver a more fun environment for young golfers while providing a path for improvement and retention in the game of golf.
The day-long seminar focus on best practices that help develop junior golfers, including an introduction to game-based teaching, use of a structured learning program, the importance of properly fit equipment in developing swing speed, and how to scale the game for youth golfers. Seminar presenters include U.S. Kids Golf Coaches Institute Vice President John Bryan, U.S. Kids Golf Director of Player Development and PGA Master Professional John Godwin and U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Teacher and Director of the U.S. Kids Golf Academy Jim Hardy.
