Stephen Ross

I am pleased to once again operate the Ross Golf Academy at the Oak Gables Golf Club for 2010.

With 18 years experience as Executive Director of the Royal Canadian Golf Association and a strong background in amateur golf worldwide, I have a wealth of experience to offer every level of golfer. As well, I am the proud father of champion golfers, including my oldest son Andrew who is the Director of Golf at Oak Gables Golf Club and lead instructor at the Ross Golf Academy.  The Ross Golf Academy is pleased to include my middle son, Christopher, who will contribute to our camps and clinics this coming summer.

My personal goal for 2010 is that the Ross Golf Academy quickly becomes known as the best junior introductory and developmental program in the region. The introductory clinics offered this year for boys and girls from ages 6-10 is designed to introduce young people to the game following the Future Links Level One Instructional Guidelines. We will work with these young juniors over the next two to three years as we follow the Future Links Guidelines Levels 2 & 3 to develop their skill and passion for the game. We will offer advanced clinics for the experienced juniors as well.
