Because Your Child’s Athletic Future is Important to Us
Bob and Kim Dickman utilize the PGA of America junior program, which is based on the Long-Term Athletic Development and the American Development Model (ADM). The U.S. Olympic Committee and National Governing Bodies created the ADM to help Americans realize their full athletic potential and utilize sports as a path toward an active and healthy lifestyle. The model uses long-term athlete development concepts to coach as many as possible, as long as possible, with the best experience possible.
Golf’s governing bodies (LPGA, The Masters, PGA of America, PGA TOUR, USGA and USA Golf) have partnered with the U.S. Olympic Committee to apply ADM to golf. The goal is to create athletes that love the game, realize their potential and become life-long golfers. The PGA Model program is divided into 7 stages with age appropriate physical and golf skill fundamentals taught at each stage

Why Dickman Golf is a “hot-bed” for junior development:
The Junior Golf Program at Dickman Golf is built on the belief that great junior development goes far beyond swing mechanics. Led by Bob Dickman and Kim Dickman, our program combines elite coaching, strong values, and long-term athlete development to help young golfers grow both on and off the course.
Bob brings decades of experience developing high-performing athletes and has earned a long-standing reputation in the community and the golf industry for his integrity, knowledge, and results. Kim, trained in the same proven systems, brings exceptional coaching skill, energy, and connection with junior players. Together, we create an environment where young athletes feel supported, challenged, and inspired to improve.
Instruction is rooted in age-appropriate development, based on the PGA Model program above. Juniors are trained according to how the body grows and adapts, ensuring the right skills are emphasized at the right time. Athleticism, speed, coordination, and movement quality are developed alongside golf skills so players build a foundation that supports long-term success. The focus is on becoming an athlete first and a golfer second.
Technology is used to enhance understanding and accelerate improvement. Advanced tools such as 3D motion analysis, video feedback, and TrackMan allow Bob and Kim to identify efficient movement patterns and build swings around each player’s natural strengths. Juniors learn cause and effect quickly, helping them understand not just what to change, but why it works.
Practice sessions are designed to prepare juniors for real golf, not just the driving range. Players progress from structured skill development to random and pressure-based practice that improves decision-making, adaptability, and confidence. On-course coaching and competition teach course management, emotional control, and how to perform when it matters.
Equally important is the culture of the program. We emphasize respect, accountability, and open communication with both students and parents. Juniors are taught to be coachable, to compete with integrity, and to take pride in their preparation. Parents are viewed as partners in the process, helping reinforce a positive learning environment that nurtures growth rather than pressure.
At its core, the Dickman Golf Junior Program is designed to help young athletes develop a lifelong love for the game. Whether a junior’s goal is competitive golf or simply enjoying the sport for years to come, our mission is to provide the skills, confidence, and character needed to succeed in golf—and in life.
