Junior Golf Training and Course Practice
A look into how we build golf swings and mental grit, from daily range drills to competitive tournament prep.
The monsoon season in India can create some tough, US Open-like conditions on the course. It's a great test of skill and adaptability.
A collection of my players at the P4 position (top of backswing). While each player has a different pattern, the goal is the same: flush it every time.
Another example of a strong P4 position from one of my junior girls during a night session at the range.
A powerful and athletic position at the top of the swing. We build swings that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
This player demonstrates great rotation and width at the top of her backswing.
A junior player with his driver at the top of the swing, perfectly loaded and ready to unleash power.
Notice the consistent themes across these swings: good posture, full shoulder turn, and a stable lower body.

Off-season work with a junior player preparing for tournaments in the US. Here, we are using an alignment stick to work on maintaining spine angle.

About More From the Course & Range
It is rarely about changing a thousand things at once. Usually, a junior player's struggle comes down to one or two mechanical anchors, like their shoulder turn or weight shift, which we isolate and fix on the range. We do not just hit balls here. We build a repeatable, athletic motion that holds up when the tournament pressure is high.
Most parents see a range session as a kid hitting a bucket of balls. I see it as an opportunity for purposeful, systematic work. My practice sessions are designed to move beyond the aesthetic of a pretty swing and focus on function. Whether we are dealing with the thick rough during the monsoon season to simulate tough conditions or focusing on a specific P4 position, the goal is always consistent, flush contact.
The Process Over Results
Improvement does not happen through quick fixes or mimicking what you see on Instagram. I teach juniors to identify the root cause of their ball flight issues. If a student is hooking the ball, we don't just change their aim. We look at their grip, their takeaway, and how their wrists hinge. By keeping the feedback loop tight, players learn to trust their swing when they are actually out on the course.
Tournament Readiness
Training for tournaments like the IGU Feeder Tour or the U.S. Kids Championships requires a different level of discipline. My range sessions incorporate course management and situational drills. We practice different shot shapes, landing angles, and bunker exits. When a student steps onto the first tee during a tournament, they should already feel like they have solved the puzzle of the course. If you are looking for coaching that focuses on data, biomechanics, and long-term development, let's talk about the next steps for your child's game.
