Future Stars Golf Program is intended to develop golf skills and general overall sport skills. Fundamental movements and skills are introduced through fun and games that include basic universal sports skills such as running, jumping and throwing. If fundamental movement skills are not developed between the ages of 6-12, a significant window of opportunity is lost, compromising the ability of the young player/athlete to reach full potential. Without basic movement skills, a child will have difficulty excelling in most sports.

Children are introduced to the following fundamental golf skills:

Grip – Holding the club correctly

Stance – Standing in athletic position with feet on correct side of the ball

Balance – Finishing the swing in a balanced position

Swing – Swinging the club in a circular motion around the body to a balanced finish

Snag is played with a Launcher and a Roller. The Launcher is similar to an iron and you hit off the Launch Pad (tee) for each shot. Rather than a hole, players hit to a Flagsticky. Similar to a putting green, players use the Roller when they are close to the Flagsticky. The Flagsticky is a Velcro flag. SNAG gets their name from the velcro balls that stick to the targets or Flagsticky.
