Junior Development Program (JDP)

This award-winning junior development program is different from any other.  It allows the student to have a personal instructor for five months.  This program provides a platform for a junior golfer's continued development.  The student will receive 4 hours of instruction per month for five months working on all aspects of the game.  With the use of TrackMan Launch Monitor and Tomi Putting Systems, this program gives our students their own private golf academy with the latest technology to allow them to reach their goals.  This program also allows the student to qualify for a chance to play in the year end, award winning, match play event versus junior golfers from the Boyne Academy....The Michigan Cup.
