Junior Golfer
Junior golf is gaining vast attention these days in Singapore. Some schools are
having golf as part of their Co- Curriculum Activities (C.C.A.). Today, many parents have enrolled their children
in a regular golf learning and training programme to enhance their intellectual and development skills.
At Asian Golf Centre (AGC), we offer a variety of golf programme to start the junior golfer. We provide
special technical assistance to schools in their C.C.A. golf programme to allow children to develop their interest, fun and
excel in the game of golf.
Why must they start Young?
Golf is known worldwide as a life-long game of learning for all genders and ages because 'golf 'is more than
just a game'. It is not just a game of kinesiology knowledge; it requires high mental and physical skills
for this exclusive sport. When a golfer is playing competitively, it requires total intellectual
properties. Even the social and weekend golfers know that it takes years of practicing and playing
experiences to master the game. These are reasons why you should consider seriously for your children to start
golf as part of their intellectual and development skills when young.
The benefit to start young:
Every golfer who plays and enjoys the golf game would wish their parents have started them when they were
young. It takes years to play a perfect game because the condition on the golf course and for every ball to fly
to the target is never in perfect situation. This is what makes the game extremely challenging even for the
adults. It is a game that demands decision, judgment, confidence, self-esteem and aggressiveness. A game that
you learn the required physical, visual perceptual and cognitive skills, and eventually to utilize them
collectively during the game. The highlight of playing the game also encompasses thrill, feel, excitement, fun
and couple with pain and anxiety in many dimensions. The golf swing skills learning process will teach the
junior golfer more that just golf.

1. The Learning of the Golf Swing Gross Motor Skills (Muscles co-ordination development)
The Human Motor Skill is the motion carried out when the cerebellum of the brain activates the nervous system to
move the body muscles to achieve a task. Gross Motor Skill is the ability required to control the large
muscles of the body, legs and arms for physical task activities such as running, jumping or climbing
movements. The golf swing skills require a player to swing the golf club in a correct movement pattern with
the objective to produce a golf shot to fly the golf ball to the target. This is an exhibition of the Gross
Motor Skills performance. The golf swing skills development will foster the improvement of muscles
co-ordination, muscle strength, boost fitness and the achievement of physical task performance. The best way
to learn and improve the gross motor skills development is to engage in regular sport activities. The correct
golf swing skills will teach the player Gross Motor Skills on:
1. Body awareness - the physiology of the golf swing posture setup to prepare for a golf swing performance.
2. Balance - the ability to maintain equilibrium during the golf swing skill performance.
3. Laterality - the awareness of the left and right sides of the body during the golf swing movement.
4. Major muscles co-ordination - for the development of a proficient golf swing technique.
5. Flexibility - the range of motions that the body can perform easily without injury.
6. Agility - a component of physical fitness that describes changing the body's direction with speed and precision.
7. Mobility - the capability of body moving or changing quickly from one state to another during the golf swing action.
8. Spatial orientation - the awareness of the body position in space during the golf swing execution.
9. Artistic - the aesthetic and graceful manifestation of the body during golf swing movement patterns.

2. The learning of the golf swing Visual Perceptual Motor Skill (hand-eye co-ordination)
The Visual Perceptual Motor Skill requires the eye/hand/body movements in co-ordination using the visual information receive from the eyes to
direct the body for the deliberate movements in physical task activities such as throwing a ball into a target (basket) and in all racket games.
The golf swing skills require a player to develop the effective hand-eye co-ordination to swing
the golf clubhead to impact on the golf ball with accuracy and consistency. This Visual Perceptual Motor Skill involves the vision processing using visual
information. The golf swing skills development will foster the learning, planning and guiding of the eye/hand/body movements pattern. The golf swing is
the most challenging way to learn and improve this skill because the clubface's
area to impact on the golf ball is much smaller than in any other racket games.
The golf swing skills will teach the player Visual Perceptual Motor Skill on:
1. Visual memory - the recalling of the visual information in chunks or temporal sequence during the golf swing teaching and
demonstration by the coach.
2. Visual spatial - the mapping of location and correct distance of the target and the direction concepts of the body alignment to perform
the proficient golf shot performance.
3. Visual analysis - the matching and identifying of the golf
swing skill and golf shot performance.
4. Visual motor integration - the hand-eye co-ordination and visually guided mobility for all the golf swing skills'
intensities; golf putting,
chipping and full-swing movement patterns.
5. Visual auditory integration - the matching, identifying, decoding and encoding auditory to visual information
from the sound of golf
clubface at impact on the golf ball.
6. Visualization - the ability to create image of a golf swing performance and the golf ball flight trajectory performance.

3. The Learning of the Golf Swing Skills will enhance the Cognitive Skill (Mental Skills)
The Cognitive Skill is the mental ability to process the knowing, thinking, reasoning, awareness, perception,
decision-making and judgment. It also includes the interpretation and processing of information such as the speed,
direction and distance of the ball travelling in sport activities. The golf swing technique learning is an extremely
physical endeavour, it requires player to be proficient in all the three mentioned skills: gross motor, visual perceptual and
cognitive. With regular practices the player will be able to prioritise the conscious and sub-conscious needs of the skills
involvement during performance. The golf swing skills will enhance the player cognitive skill on:
1. Basic Cognitive Process - the cognitive process involves in obtaining and storing knowledge of the golf swing movement patterns.
2. Learning and Acquisition - the cognitive process of acquiring skill or knowledge of the golf swing technique for
task application.
3. Remembering and Memory - the cognitive process whereby past success experience of golf shot performance is remembered;
"he can do it" from memory.
4. Belief - the cognitive process that leads to ability, judgment, convictions;
"seeing is believing".
5. Perception - the process of perceiving.
6. Mental and Attitude - a complex mental state involving beliefs, feelings, values and disposition to act in performing the proficient golf
swing technique.
7. Ability and Power - a possession of the mental qualities required to achieve golf swing performance and outcome goals.
8. Feedback - The return of information about the result of the
golf swing performance or task; an evaluative response.

4. The Psychological Development (Mind and Emotion)
Sport scientists consider the golf swing technique as one of the most complex sport skill. The ability to
apply all the three skills correctively will foster a player learning capability and enhance their
intellectual properties. Achieving the intricateness of the golf skills requirement gives player the sense of
achievement, competitiveness and feeling that they are really growing up and reaching maturation. Children grow
at different rates and they progress varies. In their process of learning and achieving good sport skills they
are likely to be more:
1. Confident and self-direction.
2. Formulating the emotion of self-concept and self-image.
3. Developing a system of conscience, morality and value judgments.
4. Acquire the physical, visual perceptual, cognitive and social skills necessary for proficiency in other task activities.
5. Start to understand the idea, function and arbitrary nature of the rules in all games.
6. Learning and improving language and words to interact with other players and friends.
7. Establish the sense of identification and self-esteem.
8. Experiencing the fun, enjoyment, thrill, sensation of the game task activities.
