Golf Evolution

2023-24 Junior Elite Program

The Golf Evolution Junior Elite Program (JEP) prepares 12-18 year-old golfers for high school and college golf with intensive weekly coaching, competition, and practice from November through March.

 

We are currently building our 2023-24 sessions. Please contact Erik at 814-873-0811 if you have not heard yet. We have a lengthy waiting list.

About the Junior Elite Program

 Since 2014, Golf Evolution has produced/taught:  

  • 9 European and PGA Tour Players
  • 16 DI College Players
  • 80+ DII and DIII College Players
  • 10+ Mini-Tour Players
  • 20+ District champions
  • 7 Individual/Team State Champions
  • 10 EDGA Champions
  • 14 EDGA Junior Champions
  • 5 US Kids Golf Players of the Year
  • 10 Hurricane Junior Tour Champions
  • 16 Competitors in National USGA Events 

The Golf Evolution Junior Elite Program (JEP) allows juniors to train with the same proven methods on a weekly basis throughout the winter to keep games sharp for the next season. Our 10,000 square foot indoor facility provides the perfect setting to reach every goal, whether it’s to make a high school or college team, compete on local and national junior tours, or simply to get better (and beat your parents!). We want you or your child to be the next addition to the bullet list above!

In 2023-24, we expect to accept 28-32 junior golfers. Interested junior golfers should be aged 12-18 and prepared for an intensive, small-group training program to run for five months from November through March. Groups of four golfers will receive 90 minutes of weekly training on weekend mornings to prepare for the 2024 golf season and beyond.

Dedicated Golf Evolution junior golfers get results: at the junior level, at the high school level, and at the collegiate level. Candidates for the GE Junior Elite Program must show a passion and desire to take their game to the next level. They must be willing to work a little — this isn’t just a weekend activity.

Classes are taught by Erik J. Barzeski, PGA, who is:

  • Head coach at Penn-State Behrend, winners of 9 of the last 12 AMCC Championships.
  • Named to Golf Digest‘s “Best Young Teachers in America,” 2016-17.
  • Named to Golf Digest‘s “Best in State (PA),” 2017-22.
  • 2019 Western New York section PGA Teacher of the Year.

 Contact Erik at erik@golfevolution.com or by texting 814-873-0811.

Space is extremely limited for the 2023-24 season, and golfers are going to apply this year as only the most serious and dedicated will be taken on this year.

Summer 2019

We Support our Junior Elite Golfers Throughout the Next Summer

Golfers who participate in our 2018-19 Junior Elite Program aren’t just sent out to compete in events when the calendar turns to May. We continue to support our JEP golfers by offering ongoing lessons, checking in with them or caddying for them in some events, working with them on their tournament schedule, preparing them to play in high school or college, and much, much more.
