Developing the Junior Golfer: A practical, family-oriented guide

For more than 15 years I have lived my passion—competitive golf—and this book reflects that journey. Drawing from coaching, teaching, and playing alongside leading minds in golf and academia, it offers guidance tailored to high school life and the dream of a college golf experience. The voice is aimed at students and parents who want clear, actionable steps that fit real life, not pressure or promises.

The pages intentionally blend practical know-how with a mentor’s perspective. While outcomes vary, the ideas here are designed to be useful in daily practice, in conversations with coaches, and during family planning sessions. The tone is hopeful, grounded, and focused on steady growth.

What you’ll discover

• Paths that connect high school golf to college opportunities with concrete milestones.
