“The special thing about Kate and her program with young children is her ability to have young children in a creative and playful environment connect to the game of golf. It’s something that I’ve never seen. She uses things that children already know from their experiences in school that make golf fun! It gives them the awareness and self-discipline to learn at their own rate and in an environment they absolutely want to be in with their friends and get better at. So for me, watching this had certainly helped me coach and teach young children. It’s made a real connection for me to a child’s imagination and how much golf can play into that. I’m so grateful for all that Kate does at Birdie Basics, for all that she does to grow the game. It’s amazing, and she is bringing thousands of young boys and girls to golf. That is incredibly special.”

“
I am blown away! Using the Birdie Basics curriculum, not only am I growing my business to include indoor programming at preschools and other locations, but I am also championing my high school students to be coaches and role models to the 3 and 4-year olds. I am thrilled to be able to provide this opportunity for growth and development to both age ranges.

“Watching our littlest golfers learn golf with Mama Birdie is fascinating. With the Birdie Basics curriculum - it makes teaching this age group fun and simple. With just a few puppets and simple props our kids are able to learn the game of golf and more importantly learn to love it.”

“ ”Thank you Kate for a fabulous day! Me and my team enjoyed the seminar and walked away from the experience energized, excited and ready to teach Birdie Basics!!!”

“Kate thank you ever so much for sharing your time and expertise; I am very excited to start-up working with 3-6 year olds again soon! I think something that worked was making the seminar such an open ended discussion format. Often seminars can seem like one is lecturing a group but I really felt like it was one group dynamic versus a lecture, so kudos! I would definitely love to attend another seminar and would wholeheartedly recommend it to others interested.

“  It’s been really awesome to see the kids learn the Birdie-isms and retain them from week to week.  The materials, narratives, and language have provided us with the key tools for this age group.  All we have to bring is our enthusiasm each week and we crush it! Using Birdie Basics has made it easy to create fun, memorable first experiences for little ones!!!

“It’s all about engagement. If the student isn’t engaged then there won’t be learning. I’ve always tried to create this atmosphere on my own but having this tool kit...with the curriculum has been an incredible time saver for me. It takes a lot of time to create and come up with a lesson plan. Kate has done it already and more importantly done it well. The curriculum is easy to follow with lots of helpful videos.

“I first met Kate when I was an LPGA National Education Program (NEP) Instructor in
2009. She was about to embark on founding her Urban Golf Academy. We both became seriously involved with SNAG soon after and had several conversations regarding the evolution of delivering best practices. I have watched Kate grow her company to great heights , and have shared stories with stakeholders on her absolute talent at inspiring kids to love golf! This gal is rock solid at what she does and is a blessing to the grass roots of the game.”
