Golf lessons for kids
A premier junior golf academy for the development and instruction of young boys and girls who desire the knowledge and skills to become competitive golfers, or to simply play for the true enjoyment of the game. Our program provides a fun environment while also teaching kids the overall skills and knowledge needed to play the game of golf.
The game of golf can teach your child to respect others, teach them integrity, good sportsmanship, and self-confidence – Important skills that they will utilize throughout life.
J.S.G.A. is a life learning program designed for juniors. Our goal is to teach children the correct fundamentals of the golf swing.
The knowledge, positions and training are the same at any age. However, the method of delivery varies to accommodate our students. Junior Sticks Golf Academy offers group classes, private lessons, camps, and special programs from beginners to advanced golfers. The student’s ability and age are taken into consideration during his or her first evaluation to determine his or her individual needs.
Video, training aids, and various drills are used to illustrate to students the positions necessary to achieve their goals. Focus is on all aspects of the game, including full swing, pitching, chipping and putting. Kids will also learn practice drills, and more importantly, how to practice. The amount of practice will be a minimum suggestion designed around age and ambition, but more importantly we will teach your child to enjoy the game of golf.
Jey Bacani, PGA Junior Sticks Golf Academy coordinator has taught juniors of all ages for over 25 years. Jey has helped elementary aged children to become competitive junior golfers, and coached high school students that have gone on to become successful college golfers. Come see Jey at The Vineyard at Escondido Golf Course.
Group golf lessons for kids
Group golf lessons for kids
The group golf class is in a group setting with other children. The maximum teacher to student ratio is 10:1. Students are taught the basic fundamentals of the full swing, short game, and putting in a fun and relaxed environment. Students will receive tips and proper drills to help them with their skills.
Each student will get some 1-on-1 time with the instructor. Duration of 1-on-1 will vary depending on the size of the class. There is no better way then to have your child practice with a PGA teaching professional present. If there is uncertainty whether your child is interested in golf or not, maybe a group golf class would be the option for your child.
This form of lesson would also be sufficient to a child that just enjoys learning the golf swing but does not want to be committed to a longer program.
Also offered is “Sunday Play Day with Jey”. This session is not offered at this time.
Children will learn basic rules, etiquette, club selection, shot selection, etc. All skill levels welcome. The only prerequisite is that the child take a minimum of 4 group classes with Jey prior to registering.
Sessions are on the 3rd Sunday of every month. 4-6 years old are from 2:30pm-3:30pm and 7-12 years old are from 12:45pm-2:15pm.

Junior private lessons
Junior private lessons
A private lesson is the best way for your child to learn and progress more quickly. Your child will be provided with the instructor’s undivided attention in a one-on-one setting.
The student and teacher will work together on building a sound golf swing in which he or she can carry for the rest of their golfing career. Jey Bacani, PGA Teaching Professional uses the aid of the most advanced launch monitor technology and video equipment to help analyze the students golf swing. Most people are visual learners, and with the aid of video analysis equipment, the students will see themselves swing and begin to correct flaws on the spot.
The private lesson is recommended for juniors who are serious about the game of golf and want to learn in more detail. Typical types of junior golfers who show serious interest are junior high/middle school students who want to try out for the high school team in the future; high school students who want to improve on their game; or high school students who want to become successful college golfers.
Ultimately, golfers who take their game seriously will participate in some form of tournament format. Private instruction will help them in preparing for these events.

Parents
PGA Junior League Golf (PGA JLG) is designed to better socialize the game of golf for children 17 and under. The program features a team-vs-team format in a structured league providing a popular, less stressful, scramble format. PGA JLG is a great way to get the entire family involved in golf, with parents as spectators, team-parents, and even coaches.
Fun, Not Stressful
In PGA JLG the focus is to have fun playing golf with your friends. PGA JLG teams want to win, but the stress often associated with individual medal play tournaments is eliminated by the low-pressure format and the camaraderie of playing on a team with your friends. Our goal is to foster an enjoyment of the game that will last a lifetime.
Team, Not Individual
There is no individual scoring in PGA JLG. The two-player scramble format allows for all participants to feel connected with the team. Strong play is rewarded, while a poor shot does not lose the hole. Players of all skill levels are welcome and will contribute to the team’s success. Every player gets to play…in every competition.
"Flags"
Each team-vs-team competition in PGA JLG consists of four 9-hole matches. Each 9-hole match is broken down into three 3-hole segments that we call “Flags”. Actual “Flag” stickers are awarded to participants upon capturing a 3-hole point for their team. The stickers are collected by the players throughout the season, and proudly displayed on their PGA JLG bag-tags as a sign of accomplishment.
"Alternates"
In PGA JLG matches, coaches have the opportunity to alternate players at the beginning of each new “Flag”. Each player is guaranteed to play at least one “Flag” in each competition. Alternates allow coaches to create pairs that maximize the team’s chance for success, while still preserving the most enjoyable overall experience for each player.
Uniforms with Numbers
One of PGA JLG’s most popular innovations is our numbered team jerseys. Introduced as part of the uniform for the inaugural JLG World Series in 2011, numbered jerseys will be supplied to all players and teams. Kids are accustomed to wearing numbered uniforms in other youth sports, so why not golf!!! This helps build a sense of identity for each participant on their PGA JLG team.
Advancement
After the regular-season Junior Sticks Golf Champions are crowned, All-Star Teams are formed to compete in the advancement phase of PGA JLG. Advancement will take place through Regional competitions which will produce Regional Champions. These Regional Champions will compete in the PGA JLG Championship.
