YOUTH CLUB

Youths are regarded as an essential part of both the social and sports life of Golf Club Venezia, which stimulates and supports their playing through the Youth Club, for boys and girls aged between 6 and 18. Students can train and grow by playing and exercising in the beautiful Venice course, that thanks to its peculiar features and difficulties has produced great players during its long standing history.

  • give them targets and new motivations with the purpose of improving their game through a responsible and planned training

Technical activity and play assessment

The technical activity planned by our Professionals requires hours of training that will be broken down in driving range/pitching green/putting green activities, where the swing fundamentals will be taught concerning: long game, short game and putting as well as course activities to learn notions of game strategy.
During the first days of the course, the boys and girls of the competition and pre-competition groups will carry out a video analysis of the swing, on which the personal chart of each student will be drawn indicating the training programme and the goals to reach.

Targets will only be achieved through the maximum cooperation between boys or girls and their instructor. Achievements will be regularly assessed.
The assessment step consists in the evaluation of short play, long play and putting.
At the end of each competition boys and girls will have to submit the statistics to the instructor so as to plan the training.
