SNAG (Starting New at Golf) is a unique program designed by experts in the field of golf. By using a variety of training tools people can learn and develop in the sport off the golf course. SNAG is a perfect compliment to the game as well as a valuable program for those without a readily available golf course (such as people in urban areas). I first fell in love with SNAG’s methods years ago and I have employed them in my program ever since. SNAG is perfect for children. It can look, just sitting on the sidelines, like these children are simply snapping ribbons around and rolling balls but they are really learning valuable tools to help them in the game of golf such as a variety of swing techniques, patience, concentration, wrist control and determination. I often say golf is the absolute mind-body sport and the SNAG tools reflect that philosophy perfectly. From their specially designed balls to their specific bulls-eye clubs they not only make golf fun for the children but also absolutely accessible.
SNAG is fun! The SNAG tools are all brightly colored and colorfully named and the children love playing with the Snagazoo (a device used to work on a chip shot), the Snapper (a long ribbon used to work on wrist control) and the Rollers and Launchers (both modified clubs).

See you all outside!

“Movement is a powerful vehicle for learning. To put children in an environment that establishes a fun, dynamic and interactive learning experience is what The Urban Golf Academy is all about. “- Kate Tempesta, founder
The Urban Golf Academy
At Urban Golf Academy we love golf and we want to share that love with others. Why do we love golf? We believe it to be the perfect sport, one that combines physical and mental agility, interactive teamwork and individual goal setting. Golf offers opportunities to improve not only personal fitness and athletic development but also mental preparedness and shrewd judgment. It is because of all these elements that we feel golf is so important for the development of young minds and bodies and why we believe so strongly in learning the sport at a young age. The Urban Golf Academy seeks to overcome the obstacles of climate and readily available courses to provide your child with the golf instruction they need right here in the city. Using a dynamic variety of methods, Kate and her team work with SNAG’s (Starting New at Golf) training tools to create a learning environment that is interactive, exciting and lively--- even off the golf course. Our mission is to make learning fun and to have that joy carry over into every facet of your child’s life.
