The Crown & Mane Approach

More Than Lessons. A Real Development Plan.

One-off lessons don't build golfers. My juniors follow a structured path that develops how they move, how they practice, and how they perform — on the range and on the course.

Athletic First, Then Technical

Every junior is different. Using TPI-certified movement principles, I build a swing around how your child's body actually moves — developing coordination, mobility, and athleticism that translate far beyond golf.

It's age-appropriate, it's safe, and it keeps the game fun while the fundamentals lock in for life.

Learning That Moves to the Course

Range reps only matter if they show up when it counts. My juniors develop on real courses — learning strategy, scoring, and how to handle pressure in actual rounds, not just in front of a screen.

Progress is tracked with launch monitor data, video, and Clippd — so you and your child always know what's improving and what's next.

Parent Questions

What Parents Ask Most

How big are the groups?

Four players. That's the hard cap, every session. Most junior programs run eight to twelve kids per coach — which means your child gets a few minutes of attention and a lot of standing in line. Four means I can actually coach every swing.

What ages do you coach?

Juniors across a wide range of ages and abilities — from first-time young players to competitive teens. The free assessment helps place your child in the right group and program for where they are right now.

Does my child need their own clubs?

Not to start. Beginners are welcome to come as they are — we'll make sure your junior has what they need, and I'm happy to advise on age- and size-appropriate equipment as they progress.

What if my child has never played before?

Perfect — that's exactly who the Intro program is built for. The focus early on is athletic movement, fundamentals, and having fun, so new players build real skills and confidence from day one.

Can they train year-round, even in winter?

Yes. The Lab Wallingford is a full indoor training center with a golf simulator and Uneekor EYE XR launch monitor data, so development never stops when the weather turns — then we head back outdoors and on-course in season.

How do I know my child is improving?

Every junior from Develop up gets a Performance Index score, re-tested quarterly across golf skills, physical development, and mental performance. You get a written report each time — so improvement is something you can see, not just something I tell you about.

Can we move up a tier later?

Any time. Most juniors start in Intro or Develop and move up as their commitment grows. The pathway is designed to be climbed.
