The American Development Model (ADM)
for Golf

Golf’s new pathway is built on the principles of the ADM, a proven, long-term athlete development model that was developed through the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. It has been successfully applied to USA Hockey, USA Basketball, USA Lacrosse and more.
‍
PGA Jr. League is committed to aligning with golf’s ADM to provide developmentally appropriate experiences in a fun, engaging, and progressively challenging way that sets our players up for lifelong sport participation. Through a welcoming format, age-appropriate yardages, All-Star player age minimums and more, the ADM is implemented throughout our entire program from start to finish.
‍
Parents interested in learning more about the ADM are encouraged to speak to their PGA Coach. PGA Coaches can become ADM certified at PGA.Coach.
