Jr. Golf Summer Program, Ages: 12-16

Here is what you need to know about attending our classes:

• We meet at the Lake Isle golf shop, or in front of the shop on the right side of the driving range.
  • For Summer Camps before 3:30 pm, we meet at the maintenance entrance/chipping green behind the New York Sports Club parking lot (see image below). For 3:30 pm and after, the meet-up is at the regular shop meeting place. *Note* if our lightning alarm is on, we will be at the golf shop. (914) 961-3453.
  • For winter classes, please use the covered stairs, rather than the hill. No cars in the upper lot.
  • Lake Isle Dress code: no jeans or T-shirts (except in winter) (See image below).
  • No open-toed shoes.
  • Please label your equipment and clothes with your name.
  • We hold camp in light rain, dress appropriately. We won’t cancel a class once the class has begun. We have activities indoors during bad weather. Please refer to the FAQ for a more detailed description of rain procedures.

• If the weather cancels a class, I will post a notice on my website, KevinChinGolf.com, and on my Twitter account, @kevinchingolf. You can also contact me via text at (914) 260-9459 or email. (you can also call, but I may not pick up my cell immediately if I’m on the golf course)All cancelled groups can make up the time at another group that is of the same or less time.
• Please note we don’t have a makeup policy. If you miss, no credit is given. 
• Please let us know about any medical issues, including allergies (e.g., bees, peanuts). We have a snack bar that accepts cash and credit. Click here for the menu.
• We suggest bringing your own equipment, but we have equipment to borrow.

Please let us know if you have any questions. 

All Junior programs
● We accommodate any level. We have a chipping green, putting green, driving range and also use of the Lake Isle golf course (when available).
● Junior groups may combine and/or overlap with different age groups.
● In the event of inclement weather we are prepared to spend up to approximately 25% of
the lesson time on material such as putting, learning the rules and etiquette of golf, score keeping, and/or watching golf educational content (YouTube, golf current events, golf trivia, etc.). However, because the weather is unpredictable and there may be bad weather for more than 25% of the lesson time, we may cancel classes and/or hold classes in bad weather under the canopy. For example, if there has been no rain Monday through Thursday, chances are Friday of that week will be held no matter how bad the weather. It’s possible we could cancel because of bad weather.
● Cancelled camps can come to another group to make up the time.
● If you miss on your own, we do not allow make ups.
● We have a snack bar that accepts cash or credit cards.
● We don’t provide transportation.

For summer camps
PGA interns working towards their PGA status typically run these programs, assisted by our staff. The typical breakdown in what we do in a week is as follows (This is in no way a guarantee. This just a general idea):
● The first day of the week is mostly spent reviewing safety protocols, range etiquette, and (depending on course availability) on-course etiquette and pace of play. We also cover the logistics of where bathrooms are, snack bar, lounge areas etc.
● 30% on course (if available); 5% exercises (typical during weather delays)
● 25% range
● 30% short game (chipping + putting) (typical during weather delays)
● 10% golf trivia, rules and etiquette (typical during weather delays)

Programs led by staff during the school year:
These groups are a great opportunity for your child to get on the golf course, have fun, make friends, and build confidence. These programs have produced plenty of high level golfers, but our main goal is that they have fun and want to come back. This is not a mechanics driven instructional program. If you want that please check out private, semi-private lessons or groups that work directly with Kevin. Some students may like doing both a group with staff and a group with Kevin. Most of the staff are former participants in our programs and/or students of Kevin. You can check their bio’s on our staff page. They typically are high school age.

Groups taught by Kevin:
We are starting this program for those of you who haven’t been able to find availability on Kevin’s lesson schedule or kids that want more instruction than our other junior programs offer. These groups are for 2 to 4 students, are taught by Kevin, and run for longer periods than most of our other programs. This gives Kevin flexibility to cater to the students’ individual goals. (If there are 2 or less students, lesson time will be shorter).
