#28 Creating Experiences that Encourage Kids to Play the Game Forever
Michelle Holmes is the Director of Instruction at Michelle Holmes School of Golf. She is well known around the world for her coaching programs and junior golf initiative. Their slogan is “Creating experiences that encourage kids to play the game forever” and that is exactly what we cover in this episode. The experiences children have are what shape them into who they are as adults. It is easy to over look the experiences and jump straight into the tasks or goals we have for each session. Michelle shares her take on this, as well as tournament play, encouragement and so much more, all about junior golf!
