Next Steps After Camp – Keep the Momentum Going
Camp is just the beginning. Here’s how to help your golfer keep improving once camp ends.

2. Set Simple Goals
- Pick a time frame: 30 days after camp.
- Choose 1–2 goals, for example:
- Level 1–2: “Hit 5 solid shots in a row from the mat.”
- Level 3–4: “Lower my 9-hole score by 3 strokes.”
- High School: “Play 9 holes each week and track stats.”
- Write them down or post them on the fridge so your golfer can see them.
3. Follow a Practice Rhythm
- 1 technical session per week – work on the drills from camp.
- 1 games session per week – putting or short-game contests.
- 1 on-course or simulated round per week if possible.
- Keep practice fun and short for younger golfers (20–40 minutes).
