U.S. KIDS GOLF PRESENTS TOP 50 KIDS COACHES, MASTER KIDS COACHES

Coaches from 26 U.S. states and 7 other countries received their U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Coach and Master Kids Coach awards at the 2024 PGA Show in Orlando on January 24.

“We are proud to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of these coaches,” said Dan Van Horn, President and Founder of U.S. Kids Golf. “Their dedication and commitment to the game, and more importantly, their students, is a great benefit to the facilities they represent, the families they serve, and especially, the young players who are starting this lifetime journey of golf.”

Presented since 2004, the U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Coach award is widely recognized as the pinnacle achievement for junior golf coaches worldwide. Award recipients are chosen based on their contributions to youth golf in their community. These contributions include but are not limited to coaching players ages 12 and under, use of the Player Pathway in advancing their players, creativity, engagement with parents, communication, and organization.

Coaches achieve the Master Kids Coach status upon earning the Top 50 award for a third time. This year, 19 coaches earned this recognition.
“Becoming a Master Kids Coach is the highest distinction for kids coaches,” noted Van Horn. “These are the professionals that have dedicated a career to youth golf and families, consistent excellence, which is not easy, and truly embody the spirit of the U.S. Kids Golf mission.”
