Golf for every child. Pathways for every ambition.
Game On Golf Junior Academy is a comprehensive junior golf development program based at Cheltenham Golf Club in Melbourne, led by PGA Professional James Hartley.
We believe every child deserves the opportunity to discover golf, build confidence and develop their skills in a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.
MORE THAN JUST GOLF LESSONS
Our academy combines games-based learning, structured coaching and on-course experiences to help young golfers develop real skills, confidence and a lifelong love of the game.
Unlike traditional junior golf lessons, our programs follow a clear, multiphase development pathway, ensuring every child has opportunities to progress at their own pace.
A PATHWAY FOR EVERY JUNIOR GOLFER
From their very first swing to competitive junior golf, our seven-phase pathway supports children as their interests, abilities and ambitions develop.
Learn: Discover golf through fun, engaging games and activities.
Develop: Build fundamental skills and confidence through structured, games-based learning.
Train: Take on greater challenges, improve technique and develop purposeful practice habits.
Play: Transfer skills onto the golf course and develop confidence playing the game.
Perform: Progress into more focused coaching, individual goals and performance development.
Achieve: Strengthen scoring ability, course management and competitive readiness.
Compete: Prepare for higher-level junior competition and continued performance development.
REAL PROGRESSION. REAL ACHIEVEMENT.
Our structured development curriculum introduces essential golf skills, techniques, strategy, routines and on-course habits.
Through our nine-level progression system, juniors can track their achievements, celebrate milestones and work towards their next challenge.
