Discover Golf
Typically ages 6–9 · Play-based introduction
Build confidence, coordination, and a genuine love of golf through skill games, movement, putting, and simple fundamentals.
Real coaching. A clear development plan. A place to belong. From first swings to competitive junior golf, Medalist helps each player take the next meaningful step.

We keep the coaching process simple enough for young players to understand and structured enough for families to see meaningful progress.
Understand what the player can already do, what matters most, and what should come next.
Develop physical movement, fundamentals, impact skills and efficient practice habits.
Move from technique to games, variable challenges, course decisions and scoring.
Use PDI checkpoints, feedback, and tournament experience to update the training plan.
Development happens primarily outdoors, with indoor technology used when it serves the player's plan.
Our outdoor training base for ball flight, short game, practice games, and on-course skill development in Newnan, Georgia.
Indoor lessons and technology support with TrackMan or GCQuad as scheduled, especially during poor weather and targeted assessments.
No. Discover and Future Medalist welcome players who are learning the game. Performance is appropriate when individualized coaching becomes the best next step.
They are part of the broader Medalist player-development pathway but are not Elite memberships. Elite is a separate invitation-only training program with its own schedule and tuition.
We look at skill, maturity, practice habits, goals and coachability. Contact the Academy for a placement conversation, rather than choosing based on age alone.
