Every young golfer 

needs somewhere 

to go next

The complete 10-level junior golf 

development pathway, taking young 

players from their first swing towards 

a lifetime in the game.

Golf is easy to start. 

Knowing what comes next is much harder. 

 Bitesize Golf gives young players a clear, structured journey through the game, with new skills to learn, challenges to complete and achievements to celebrate at every stage. 

 Created from more than 40 years of junior coaching experience, the Bitesize Golf pathway brings players, parents, coaches and clubs together around one simple idea: 

 always give the young golfer somewhere to go next.

Starting Golf Is Only the Beginning

The real challenge is keeping young golfers learning, progressing and excited about what comes next.

Thousands of children are introduced to golf every year. 

They attend a taster session. Hit some balls. Perhaps join a few group lessons. 

But then comes the important question: 

What happens next? 

 Without clear progression, junior golf can quickly become a collection of disconnected lessons and activities. 

Bitesize Golf changes that. 

Every stage leads naturally to the next. Children can see where they are, what they are learning, what they can achieve and where their journey can take them. 

Instead of simply providing golf lessons, Bitesize Golf provides a 

development pathway.

One pathway. Everyone working together.

Young golfers progress best when players, parents, coaches and clubs understand the journey.

The heart of Bitesize Golf is a structured 10-level development pathway

Young golfers begin with the fundamentals and progressively build their skills, knowledge, independence and experience. 

Each level provides something new to learn. 

Something new to practise. 

Something new to achieve. 

And, crucially, somewhere new to go next. 

The pathway gives children a sense of progress while giving parents and coaches a clear framework around their development. 

Young players aren't expected to become great golfers overnight. 

They develop one Bitesize step at a time.

LEVEL 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 9 → 10 

Learn. Practise. Challenge. Achieve. Progress.

A simple formula that keeps young golfers moving forward.

Bitesize Golf turns development into a continuous cycle. 

LEARN 

Discover the skills, knowledge, rules, etiquette and ideas needed to understand the game. 

PRACTISE 

 Turn knowledge into ability through structured activities, games and coaching. 

CHALLENGE 

Put new skills to the test through progressive challenges designed for each stage. 

ACHIEVE 

Recognise progress with milestones, results, reports, certificates and personal success. 

PROGRESS 

Move confidently towards the next challenge, the next skill and the next Bitesize Golf level. 

Then the cycle begins again. 

That's what turns a few golf lessons into a long-term development journey.

Built on 40 Years of junior golf experience

Bitesize Golf wasn't created in a boardroom. It developed through decades of coaching young golfers.

Bitesize Golf grew from a simple ambition: 

Find a better way to develop young golfers. 

Over four decades of junior coaching, ideas were tried, refined, improved and tested with young players at different ages and stages of development. 

What emerged wasn't simply a collection of drills. 

It became a complete pathway. 

A system designed around what actually helps children stay engaged, recognise their progress, develop independence and continue moving forward. 

Today, that experience sits behind every Bitesize level, challenge, lesson and resource.

The Bitesize journey in your pocket

The digital companion to the Bitesize Golf development pathway.

Development doesn't have to stop when the coaching session ends. 

The Bitesize Golf app brings the pathway into one convenient digital environment, helping young golfers, parents and coaches stay connected to the journey. 

Players can continue learning. 

Parents can better understand progress. 

Coaches can support development. 

And everyone can see what comes next. 

The app isn't the Bitesize Golf system. 

It's the digital home that helps bring the system to life.

Why I created Bitesize Golf

Because junior golf deserves more than a few lessons and the hope that children somehow find their own way.

After decades of coaching young golfers, I kept seeing the same thing. 

Children didn't lack enthusiasm. 

Coaches didn't lack commitment. 

Parents didn't lack encouragement. 

What was often missing was a pathway connecting everything together. 

I wanted every young golfer to understand where they were, what they were learning and what they could work towards next. I wanted parents to feel part of the journey. 

And I wanted coaches to have the structure and resources to build junior programmes that could last for years rather than constantly starting again. 

That became Bitesize Golf. 

Not a shortcut. 

Not a quick fix. 

A structured journey through the game we love. 

One step. 

One achievement. 

One Bitesize at a time.

Where will your Bitesize journey begin?

Whether you're helping one child discover golf or building an academy for hundreds, there's a place for you in Bitesize Golf.

Every great golfing journey begins somewhere. 

For one child, it might begin with their first putt. 

For another, their first lesson. 

Their first challenge. 

Their first certificate. 

Their first nine holes. 

What matters is that there is always another step waiting for them. 

That's what Bitesize Golf was created to provide.
