I'm sure this has been discussed on this forum but couldn't find a recent post. Anyone have any recommendations for golf lessons for kids and teenagers in the Houston area?

I went down this road for my oldest (8 yrs) at the end of last year. I was committed to one on one coaching / lessons so she had the advantage of learning the right way instead of figuring it out herself like I had to do.

We put her in a one week camp by chance that happened to be through the Junior PGA OP36 program and she loved it. She's now at Cypress Golf Academy in their OP36 program and thriving. The program is pretty awesome. It's group based 1 hour lessons once a week and a tournament every other week. While it's group based ratios seem to be about 3/1 with coaches and high school / college players as mentors and any time I have a question regarding something she's struggling with, they pull her aside and work one on one during or after class.

Tournament rankings / levels explained

The point is to test / pass 4 skills each 8 weak semester until you pass all 12 skills each ranking as they work their way up the program and ranking (levels).

Feel free to DM if you have any questions. They tend to have a bring a friend to class once a semester that would allow you and your kid to see what a class is like.

John Phillips at Gleannloch Pines is great. I started going to him recently as I work near there and have enjoyed his teachings, he keeps it pretty simple instead of overloading you with info which would be good for kids.

My fitter at Impact knew of him and said he is a wizard on short game with youth.
