Junior Golf Lessons Frequently Asked Questions

Updated 8/2/22

 

What is available for youngsters during the 2023 season?

Junior golf (ages 7-17) as well as adult golf has exploded since the pandemic. Beginning in 2023 I will only have availability to work with motivated and ambitious juniors. Shortly I will have a junior development application form for youngsters under 18 years of age.There are no junior lessons available to the general public at this time.

My son or daughter would like to try golf. What do you offer for youngsters brand new to the game?

I am hoping to offer designated range times each week so parents to bring their sons/daughter to give golf a try. This will require some coordination with Renditions GC and as yet nothing has been finalized. 

Do you work with juniors younger than 7 years old?

If golf lessons are simply activities to fill your youngsters schedule and there will be no practice happening at home or if you are begging them to give golf a try, then I am not a good golf instructor choice for your junior. Please look for a “play-type” camp. 

What is the cancellation policy for junior lessons?

For all private junior lessons — 24 hours is requested and 12 hours notice is required for refunds. For lessons canceled with less than 12 hours notice, you may be charged 50% of the lesson fee. Life happens sometimes! So in case of an unforeseen emergency, we can discuss. The scheduler sends a confirmation email and two reminder emails. Please check your inbox. Better yet put the lessons on your calendar! There is NO penalty for canceling with more than 12 hours. If you have a crazy busy life, consider scheduling same day lessons.

My child does not have golf clubs. What should I do?

There are some clubs available. Proper size cannot be guaranteed. You MUST REQUEST in advance your desire to borrow clubs in the “Notes to Marian” box when scheduling. Please include whether your child is right or left-handed, age and height. When you are ready to buy clubs, I recommend Dukes Golf in Annapolis for junior clubs. Owners Tom and Kevin are awesomely helpful..

My child is new to golf. What is the best first step?

Typically I recommend a .5-hour private lesson with a friend or two since it is the most economical options. However, as we are 1/2 way through the season, I no longer can offer single lessons to brand new junior golfers. You are welcome to purchase a junior learning program if your junior is motivated and committed.

My child is not very athletic. Is prior sport experience necessary to play golf?

I’ve  heard this from many parents over the years. Prior sport experience is helpful at any age when learning golf but is not required. Many “non-athletic” type youngsters do very well at golf.

May I notify you by email that my child cannot make his lesson?

Email Marian@yourgolfsolutions.com or text me (833.465-3911) only if you are canceling with less than 12 hours. Otherwise please use the online scheduler to schedule, reschedule, or cancel sessions. Sorry I cannot handle manual changes. The scheduler is mobile friendly and available 24/7 so please bookmark the scheduler web address. You may also use the BOOK NOW menu item on this web site to access the online scheduler. Please see the cancellation policy above.

Are you willing to make exceptions to other rules and policies?

I am always open to new ideas. If it is something I can alter and make available to all juniors and their parents, then yes I will make exceptions. Sorry, I cannot make exceptions for only one or a few — even if you are my very favorite parents or juniors. If I can make it for everyone, then I will.

Do you have a question that isn’t answered on this web site?

You may enter it on my “Contact” form or schedule a 15-minute complimentary phone call on my online scheduler.
