What does "DG" Mean?
“DG” stands for Discover Golf, a research-backed training system created by Richard Franklin that transforms traditional instruction into meaningful, game-driven learning. Used by facilities around the world—and often described as the “Montessori of Junior Golf”—Discover Golf blends skill development with imaginative play to keep students deeply engaged.
Through the DG approach, juniors learn every key shot in golf—putting, chipping, pitching, and driving—while building confidence, creativity, and problem-solving skills. This method helps players stay motivated as they progress through our programs, ensuring they develop both the physical fundamentals and the mental readiness needed to advance in the sport without burnout.
Many of our students who began in our DG classes have gone on to become top performers on local high school teams and at their colleges, and several have earned college golf scholarships.
Whether your child is brand-new to the game or ready to take the next step, our DG-based curriculum provides a strong, enjoyable pathway forward. All essential equipment is provided for beginners, making it easy to get started.
DG Pee Wee
4-5 year olds
Offered Mondays or Tuesdays, 3:30- 3:55 PM
$140/month
A 2026 registration fee of $50 will provide your child with our "Welcome Kit" which includes an official PAR Junior Golf School t-shirt
This play-based group is all about introducing young children to the game of golf in a fun and imaginative way. Through simple games, music, and lots of movement, students build self-esteem and confidence while developing the basic motor skills needed to hold and swing a club.
Each week, your child will take part in one golf-themed game that helps teach important life and social skills such as teamwork, turn-taking, patience, handling wins and losses, and showing empathy. This class encourages active bodies and positive energy from start to finish.
A parent or grandparent must attend class with their child.
To ensure a safe and supportive environment, classes are limited to 8 students.
DG Wee
1st - 2nd grades
Offered Mondays or Tuesdays, 4:00-4:55 PM
$180/month
A 2026 registration fee of $50 will provide your child with our "Welcome Kit" which includes an official PAR Junior Golf School t-shirt
This is the ideal place for young golfers to start learning how to hit the ball in a structured, play-based environment. As we often tell our students, “To control the ball, you must first learn to control the club.” In this class, children begin developing coordination, learning how to hold and swing the club, and understanding how far the ball can travel when they make contact.
We focus on the foundational pitch shot, which teaches balance, control, and solid contact. Parents can expect plenty of music, engaging games, and opportunities for children to work together. Students will also experience both winning and losing in a healthy, supportive setting that builds character and resilience.
DG Play
3rd - 6th grades
Offered Mondays or Tuesdays, 5:00-5:55 PM
or Wednesdays, 4:00-4:55 PM
$180/month
A 2026 registration fee of $50 will provide your child with our "Welcome Kit" which includes an official PAR Junior Golf School t-shirt
Building on the skills learned in DG Wee, the DG Play class helps students continue improving their coordination and control of both the club and the ball. This program uses collaborative, high-energy, game-based activities that keep golfers engaged while developing real on-course skills.
Students will take part in individual, partner, and team challenges that encourage critical thinking and sportsmanship.
We continue to focus on the foundational pitch shot as well as putting, chipping, and driving while also introducing how the club face, club path, and height affect ball flight.

Mondays or Tuesdays, 6:15-7:30 PM

$220/month
A 2026 registration fee of $50 will provide your child with our "Welcome Kit" which includes an official PAR Junior Golf School t-shirt
Our Grind classes are developed for students who still enjoy games but are more advanced or just beginning to take golf more seriously.
The first half of each class will center on proven drills and learning specific swing techniques while hitting many golf balls! Video Swing Analysis will often be used along with radar technology to measure swing speed, ball speed, and distance.
The second half of class focuses on applying new knowledge through an applicable game. Students will begin taking ownership of their individual swing, learning ball flight laws, the basics of course management and the mental side of the game.
If your child is in 7th grade or up and interested in just beginning their golf journey, please call or text us at
