Developing Your Junior Golf Program – Jim Hardy – National
Academy Director US Kids Golf - Held at Longleaf Golf &
Family Club
Jim Hardy
is the Academy Director for Longleaf Golf & Family Club in
Southern Pines, NC. Hardy, is a U.S. Kids Golf Certified Coach,
PGA Professional and father of four. He began his career in the
golf business in 1996 after buying a practice range and adjacent
land for a 9-hole lighted par-3 course in southwest Houston.
As a
teacher, Hardy creates a fun and enjoyable learning experience
while bringing students the technical, mental and fitness aspects
of the game to meet each individual’s needs. He served as a coach
for the First Tee and as an instructor and Board Member of
the LPGA/USGA Girls Golf program while in Houston. Eighty percent
of his students under the age of 18.
As a
player, Jim has played in the PGA Professional National
Championship and loves to compete but he gets his biggest thrill
when he can say, “Learning has Occurred.” This is a phrase he
uses often during golf instruction which, in his words, is a code
for making a connection with his students.

Our Fayetteville All-star team comprised of 10
juniors from Highland Country Club, Stryker Golf Course, and
Gates Four Golf & Country Club competed in the Sectional
Qualifier at Prestonwood on August 6th. They played hard, but
fell short by 4 strokes tying for 2nd place. Unfortunately, they
did not advance to the Regional Qualifier this year like they did
in 2017, but are in high hopes of returning to Regionals again in
2019 with some great junior golfers returning for PGA Junior
League next year. Each of the kids played for one of their
teammates, Hunter Hedgecoe, which was diagnosed with Meningitis
early in the season. He currently is in Charlotte making a full
recovery and plans to be back in full shape for next season.
