Teaching Platform
First Swing Programs are purposely built for PGA Professionals to grow the game from grassroots. Our programs are perfect for girls and boys aged 3 -12 years old, they are fully inclusive and we invite any players with special needs to come and join the fun too.
First Swing teaching model gives purpose to any coaching program.
Motivating
Goals are achievable and based off of a player’s skill level. This allows them to feel success.
Measureable
Players can see their progress and have a plan for improvement.
At each level players are evaluated in 4 fundamental categories. They are scored Bogey, Par, or Birdie. Once the player achieves Birdie in all 4 categories the player will move on to the next level.

We believe getting better at the game should feel like a game! Each week FS Challenges help you climb the global leaderboard.

FS$ Reward Program
The rewards program is simple and provides the players an opportunity to be rewarded for doing well.
At the end of each session the coach will run a quick challenge based on what the players have been practicing in their lesson, a prize pool is determined based on the number of players in the group.
The winning player gets maximum FS$, awarded a novelty cheque and picks up a “Swinging Star” award. All other players earn FS$ based on their position.
After each session the coach banks the FS$ into each players account with players having the ability to check on their progress via the leaderboard, and at the end of the term they redeem their FS$ for prizes with a yearly prize for the top player in each program winning a set of junior clubs from Callaway.
