Programs

Since the late 1970‘s the Men’s Golf Program at Duke University has run junior golf camp for boys in the summertime. Our Traditional Junior Golf Camp carries on that legacy. As a camp for boys, we offer all of the components one would expect from a university-run golf camp:

Instruction on all facets of the game of golf
Including:
Full swing fundamentals
Ball flight laws and shot shaping
Various putting methods
Effective chipping & pitching techniques
Distance control with wedge play
Proven bunker routines
Course management and positive visualization
Contests, games, and drills for fun and improvement of technique
The United States Golf Association and Royal & Ancient Rules of Golf
Successful practicing habits
Informational session on competing in junior golf tournaments, college recruiting, and playing on a college golf team

In order to get the most effective instruction, we believe that there must be a very low student to instructor ratio not to exceed 5:1. Also, to ensure that each student is comfortable, groups will be decided based on a combination of experience (years exposed to the game) and skill level (as described by the students signing up and the coach's evaluation on the first afternoon of camp). Students will work with their assigned instructors on improving their golf swings through video analysis and hands-on, personalized instruction.

The philosophy of the Traditional Junior Golf Camp is to provide an atmosphere in which each student will improve their golf game, meet new friends who share an interest for the game of golf, and have a lot of fun!
