Junior Golf Programs

JUNIOR GOLF PROGRAMS

The Shriver Golf Academy puts a big emphasis on its Junior Golf Program through many different types of instructional programs, camps, play with the pros after school programs, and much more. Pat & Bill, the co-owners of Cove Cay, have been teaching and coaching children for many years, and are proud of their golfers and what they have accomplished. Our program has produced current college golfers, and Pat has coached a current LPGA tour player when she was a junior golfer.

Chris Ardolina teaches private lessons for Junior golfers, is the coach of our Cove Cay PGA Junior League Team and leads our Golf Summer Camp sessions at Cove Cay.  He also runs a Tournament Prep Program for junior golfers who are currently competing and want to take their games to the next level.

Chris has been named one of the top kids coaches in the United States. He has also been named as one of Golf Digest’s “Best Young Teachers in America” every year since 2021. He is the only kids coach in Pinellas County to be recognized as a US Kids Certified Coach and US Kids Top 50 Coach. 

Junior golfers from the Shriver Academy at Cove Cay have done big things! We have current and former students currently playing in many of the junior tours around the country. We also have students playing on local high school golf teams, and we have students that just enjoy golf, and come to our lessons to improve their golf games and enjoy the game with their families and friends. Whatever your child’s goals are, we can accommodate them.
