How to Choose a Golf Academy?

For junior golfers and parents who like the idea of attending a golf academy full time, they really need to take a look at what these schools offer. Below are some things they need to ask the school:

• What is the teacher to student ratio? – Typically, the best golf academy is one that has a limited teacher to student ratio. This way, the student gets more face time with the teacher and they will be able to learn better. 
• Do they have private instructions with a pro? – It is a good idea for junior golfers to learn as part of a group but there are times when they will need one-on-one coaching lessons with the academy golf pro. Ask the academy if they have this for their kids or if it is a service that costs extra.
• Do they conduct V1 video golf analyses?  – One of the best perks about attending a full time academy for golf is they normally have contacts with college coaches. What this service does is it will send videos of the players to college coaches which will draw attention to the kids and perhaps score them scholarships.
• Does the school provide for junior golf events? – Junior golf players need to compete and it is a good idea to ask the school what golf events they will send the kids to and what they will shoulder for the trips.
  

These are just some of the questions that need to be asked by folks thinking of joining a junior golf academy. Remember, greatness requires some sacrifices but the right academy will make it fun for the student, and totally worth the effort.
