With his personalized coaching approach, your child will develop both as an athlete and a golfer, preparing them for whichever path they choose.

Pathway Program and TPI Approach

What is the Pathway Program?

The DGC Junior Player Pathway is a complete journey that provides juniors with the tools to grow their game, from learning the basics to competing at the highest levels. This structured program is the only one in Qatar that offers a pathway from beginner to collegiate and professional golf success. Whether aiming for competitive play or enjoying recreational golf, this program caters to all levels.

TPI Approach

The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) approach is fundamental to the DGC Junior Player Pathway. TPI is recognized worldwide for its research and educational programs that link the human body to the golf swing. Players advised by TPI experts have won 18 of the last 20 Major Championships.

TPI Screening: Through an assessment, we identify each junior's physical and golfing abilities, ensuring that our training program is tailored to their needs.

Skills and Movement: Juniors will develop essential golf skills alongside core athletic abilities, such as coordination, flexibility, strength, and endurance. This combination allows players to improve both their golf game and overall fitness, providing a foundation for long-term enjoyment and success.

Development Stages

The DGC Junior Player Pathway follows TPI's junior development model and kids will be divided into groups based on golf skills and age:

Fundamentals: Young golfers are introduced to the game through fun, engaging activities that combine golf basics"”like grip, stance, and swing"”with overall athletic development (balance, running, jumping). This stage builds the foundation for future success in both golf and fitness.
Learn to Play: As golfers progress, the focus shifts towards building on their foundational golf skills, enhancing their technique while continuing to develop their athleticism.
Train to Play: Here, the emphasis is on refining specific golf techniques and preparing juniors for more structured practice and competition, helping them sharpen their game and get competition-ready.
Elite: This stage is for those aiming to excel at the highest levels. Players receive advanced training designed to maximize their golf performance and physical conditioning, with a focus on college and professional opportunities.
