Junior Graduated Tee's
New to Deer Ridge this year are our Junior Graduated Tee’s. It’s a great way to speed up the learning process and motivate your child while making your experience more enjoyable!
The three new set of Junior Graduated Tee’s are set on each hole, every day, at 50, 100, and 150 yards. Young, beginner, and junior golfers would start at the 50-yard tee on each hole their first-time golfing and continue playing those tee’s until they shoot a graduating total score. Once they shoot the graduated score, they move onto the 100-yard tee’s during their next round.
This is really exciting for the kids and really improves their focus. It’s also great for parents because the kids stay more excited and play in less time.
Come try it out with your child – and make golf a fun game that your whole family can enjoy!
Junior Private Lessons
Private Junior Golf Lessons are a great way to accelerate the learning process.
Junior Private Lessons are ideal for the junior that has had some previous golf experience or participated in Junior Group Lessons in the past.
Head Instructor Chris Kading, has been teaching junior golf for over 30 years (as well as martial arts for 15 years.) His communication methods and technical drill exercises make learning fun and will motivate your child to improve technically and enjoy the game more.

Junior Golf Leagues
Deer Ridge Junior Golf Leagues are for kids ages 7 – 13 with previous golf experience, that have been involved in previous lesson programs and have played at least 1 full golf season with parents or other kids on their own.
​
Junior Golf Leagues include six rounds of 9-hole games each, with golfers playing from our Junior Graduated Tee’s based on their ability. Kids will play their own ball, and stats and fun events are included each week.
Each league will begin with a one-hour refresher lesson, with six different areas of instruction covered throughout. At the completion of the lesson module, the kids will be grouped up and will play a 9-hole round. Parents that are available are encouraged to walk around with a group and assist as needed.

About Chris Kading
Chris Kading is the Owner and Head Instructor at Deer Ridge Golf Course. Chris completed his 5-year CPGA apprentice training under the tutelage of Richard Bull. At the same time, Chris completed a three-year Bachelor of Science degree from Brandon University, majoring in Psychology, with an emphasis in behavioural neural science, behavioural modification, learning motivation and perception. Chris applies those areas of study to his instruction programs to amplify students learning. Chris has also dedicated his career to the study of the golf swing. His lessons are based on the laws of physics and how the body works. He explains the swing in a simple way that can be easily understood. Not only will your child have a good understanding of what they should be trying to do, but they will be able to repeat it with the simple drills they learn.
