Competitive Player Pathway
Year-round coaching for junior golfers serious about tournament play — and potentially college golf.
Request a Conversation →Most junior golfers don't need more lessons. They need to learn to take accountability for their game and know what to do with the time between them.
The Competitive Player Pathway is built around that gap. It's a year-round program for players ages 13 to 18 who compete and want real structure behind their practice. Every player is paired with a coach on our staff and works the same system, so the standards stay the same no matter who they train with.
Why the program exists
“The juniors I've coached who went on to play college golf all had one thing in common — they learned to take ownership of their game. They practiced with purpose. They held themselves accountable between lessons. I built the Pathway to teach that on purpose instead of hoping it shows up on its own.”

The system
What's included
This is a full development system, not a lesson package. The coaching sessions are one piece — the testing, tracking, and structure are what make it work.
Coaching
Two 1-on-1 sessions each month
Paired with a coach on our staff who owns the player's development plan and tracks progress across every session.
Measurement
Monthly TrackMan testing
So progress gets measured instead of guessed at. Same tests, same benchmarks, month after month.
Between sessions
PMG Academy app access
Practice plans, drills, and post-round reports. Tracks progress over time and includes peer leaderboards — juniors work harder when they can see where they stand.
Tracking
Four-area development
Progress is tracked across four areas: golf, physical, mental, and on-course performance.
Access
Priority booking
Pathway players get first access to the calendar for coaching, playing lessons, and TrackMan bays.
What we ask of players
This part matters as much as the coaching.
Players in the Pathway are expected to:
- ▸ Submit a post-round report after every tournament round.
- ▸ Show up for monthly testing.
- ▸ Work the practice plan between sessions.
The structure only works if the player uses it. We hold them to that.
How players join
A small, hand-selected group.
The Pathway isn't open enrollment. Families apply, and we take a limited number of players each season based on fit — where the player is now, what they're working toward, and whether the structure is the right next step.
Three-month minimum commitment, with the option to pause a month when needed. If you think your player is a fit, reach out and we'll talk.
3-month minimum · Pause option available
Think your player is a fit?
Send us a note about where they are — tournaments they've played, current handicap or scoring average, what they're trying to accomplish. We'll set up a conversation from there.
