LASPO Juniors - 2023 Elite Fall Program - Tournament Players and Middle/High School
The Elite Program
The Elite Program is designed for junior golfers who have outgrown beginner golf camps/instruction and are interested in developing their skills for tournament competition. Whether on their high school/middle school team or competing in other junior competitions, the Elite Program will seek to ingrain the fundamentals of the game while exposing and developing more advanced concepts of tournament play. Practices will have a structured format to assist in preparation for those juniors looking to take their
games to the next level.
The Elite Program is not designed for true beginners. Juniors signing up should be 9 years of age or older and have completed multiple 9 hole rounds. However, exceptions can be made by the Program Director, Chris Oetinger, or the Head Pro, Michael Cattani.
