SkoutGolf – Long-Term Junior Development
At SKOUTgolf, we take a long-term athletic development approach to junior golf, ensuring kids build strong fundamentals, athleticism, and a lifelong love for the game.
Our program is built on a proven model combining the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Junior Curriculum, US Kids Golf Curriculum, and over 10 years of experience developing junior golfers in Beaverton.
The results speak for themselves. We've helped over 20 juniors advance to play at the D1, D2, D3, and JUCO levels, along with multiple players qualifying USGA Boys & Girls Junior Amateurs as well as the USGA US Amateur. We structure our programs into four key age groups, each designed to meet the developmental needs of young athletes as they progress in the game.
Clubs (Ages 4-8) – Build Athletic Fundamentals & Have Fun
