Long Term Athlete Development - WP PGA

Teaching techniques are changing and improving all the time! I am proud to say that the PGA Golf Pros from South Africa are up to date with the latest techniques thanks to the Continues Educational Program that is in place.

What is LTAD?
LTAD can be described as a guide that maps out a path of development of athletes from Pre-Puberty to Retirement. The LTAD approach focuses on children performing age appropriate exercises to maximize athletic potential.

Why do kids like to play golf?
"For us to develop an efficient junior coaching program we have to ask ourselves: why do kids want to play golf?" Here are some of the reasons:
  • Because it is FUN
  • They can play with friends
  • They fit in
  • It feels good
  • They can do something they are good at
