TGA becomes the only national youth golf program to incorporate new education standards focusing on science, technology, engineering, and math
(Los Angeles, CA) – TGA Premier Junior Golf – the innovative youth sports franchise model leading the golf industry in creating and developing new players and ensuring the sports future –has expanded its proprietary curriculum to incorporate STEM core academics (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, STEM jobs have been increasing since 2008 and are expected to increase by 17 percent through 2018. Programs that feature STEM are highly sought after in school districts and schools nationwide, and TGA is the only youth golf organization to have STEM in its curriculum.
“TGA continues to ensure the future of golf by providing a top experience for participants in our golf in schools programs across the country,” TGA founder and CEO Joshua Jacobs said. “STEM is the hot topic in schools and amongst parents. Adding STEM to our curriculum will further differentiate golf on the menu of youth activities and encourage more parents to sign up.”
Early academic STEM exposure results in an increased interest in the sciences. TGA will help students gain a greater understanding of the technical elements of the game of golf through various lesson plans focusing on such things as Newton’s Laws and Simple Machines.
Students of all ages and grades – through TGA’s STEM curriculum – will be introduced to new vocabularies, technical elements and experiments that uncover the “why” or science behind the sport. STEM brings real world concepts into the lesson plans while asking students to look at problems in a different way.

My child is very active, so he often takes part in various sports activities, plays different sports. This is great, in my opinion, but it seems to me that because of this, his progress in his studies suffers somewhat. Especially when it comes to math.
Well, it's quite possible. When a child is actively involved in a particular activity, it is difficult to devote the same amount of energy and attention to other areas of life, including studies. Personally, it seems to me that in this case, the best math help for kids would be an individual teacher or an online group. Now there are different online platforms, but I can definitely recommend Brighterly. In my opinion, the teachers here have a really great experience to choose an individual training program, as well as to make the process exciting and even fun.
It's cool that regardless of age and already existing education, everyone can continue to learn. To get a new job, I need to improve my English level. I found Promova, where there are various online courses, as well as various grammar material, for example, https://promova.com/english-grammar/adjectives-ending-with-ed-and-ing-rules. Sometimes it is very convenient to quickly find the right rule and study it.
