JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAM

We offer a number of summer golfing opportunities for youngsters of all ages and abilities.

INSTRUCTOR:
Frank Donadio, USGTF Certified Teaching Professional

BIO:
Born and raised near New Haven Connecticut. Learned golf in early teens as a caddy in a suburban country club. Received college degrees in Zoology and Microbiology. Served three years in the U.S. Army and then worked in the food industry. Since turning pro 12 years ago, Frank has taught at golf ranges in New Jersey and is currently teaching in the Milwaukee Area. He is also an accredited club maker and represents many custom club lines.

PHILOSOPHY: I believe that golf is the sport for a lifetime. Fitness and diet can make it easier to learn and enjoy golf; but it is still only a game and a good mental approach can determine much of a player’s success or failure. I enjoy teaching fundamentals, which can be easily reviewed on the practice range and then applied on the course. I use a simple swing approach for beginners and try to relate the golf swing to other activities the starting golfer enjoys.

I use a simple swing approach for beginners and try to relate the golf swing to other activities the starting golfer has enjoyed. I will stress the grip, posture and alignment as keys to a repeating golf swing. Most mistakes in the motion of the golf swing are a result of an improper or uncomfortable set-up. The set-up can be practiced without hitting golf balls, ie, away from the course or practice area, so that practice time can be utilized for grooving the balance of a full swing. The motion of the swing will emphasize turning the body properly rather than just lifting the club with the golfer’s arms. Junior golf and beginner adult golf is best if first taught on the putting green and chipping area so early success can be realized.
