The long term goal of the PGA Sports Academy is to develop each individual’s physical and golf skills based upon age and ability. Each

student who goes through the PGA Sports Academy will most likely participate in some activities that appear to have no correlation to traditional golf instruction and the golf programs you have seen previously at Red Rocks Country Club. Activities such as kicking a soccer ball or playing golf baseball with a tennis ball may seem to have little relevance to golf. However, they are building fundamental motor skills to perform a golf swing – such as timing, balance, and coordination. The curriculum recognizes that many kids do not initially possess the motor skills required to make a golf swing. These skills need to be developed in order to make learning golf easier, and more enjoyable for them.

The PGA Sports Academy is built upon five pillars which will help your child learn to play golf and have fun in the process:

• Fitness and Nutrition• Golf Skill Development• Sportsmanship, Etiquette & Rules• Golf and “Near Golf” Experiences• Golf and Physical Assessments

The Red Rocks Country Club PGA Junior Sports Academy will teach these five pillars differently to each age group, based upon activities which are best suited to their level of physical and motor skills.

Junior Golf Instructors

MITCH:

Mitch is a Colorado native with over 30 years experience in the golf industry and 25 years as

a Golf Professional. After college and three years of grounds maintenance Mitchell became an assistant golf professional at then, Willow Springs Country Club and later Lakewood Country Club. After obtaining his PGA class “A” membership Mitchell became the Director of the Colorado Junior Golf Association. One of Mitchell’s great skills as a teacher is that he teaches several different

styles and methods and he puts the right one, with the right student. Mitchell prefers to work with groups of beginner golfers but likes individual lessons for the more accomplished player. That way he can work with each student as an individual on their specific strengths in order to allow each student to develop their own unique swing and style of play.

BEN:

Ben joined the staff our staff in August of 2008, and this will be his sixth season at Red Rocks. Ben is originally

from Houston, Texas and grew up playing baseball and football. He finally picked up a golf club after high school for a job at The Family Golf Center outside of Houston. After getting immediately hooked on the game and finding his new passion he decided to make a career out of the game, and is currently a PGA Apprentice. Ben has worked at Lake Houston Golf Club, Tour 18 in Dallas, and

Fossil Trace in Golden.

CHRIS:

Chris recently relocated from the mountains where he worked at Eagle Vail Golf Club for 8 years, and
