THE ACADEMY

A Coaching Home, Not a Drop-Off

Kasza Golf Academy at Hunting Hills is built around one idea: every golfer deserves structure, real feedback, and a clear understanding of how to keep improving long after the lesson ends. That applies to the four-year-old picking up a club for the first time, the middle schooler chasing their first tournament win, the adult finally serious about breaking 80, and everyone in between.

Every program at the academy is designed around the same principles — measurable improvement, smart practice, and the belief that the right coaching changes how you see your own potential. Summer programs draw the biggest crowds, but the academy operates year-round with private lessons, junior development, and structured coaching at every level.

MEET THE COACHES

A Proven Coaching Team

Two coaches working together — more individualized attention, stronger feedback, better accountability, and a more complete development environment for every junior.

James Kasza — Head Coach, Kasza Golf Academy

James Kasza

HEAD COACH · "THAT GOLF GUY"

James has built a reputation for helping juniors unlock potential quickly. He has worked with beginners, elite juniors, collegiate players, and professional athletes — including helping coach the number one ranked freshman in Division I golf, juniors winning state championships, and players who have gone on to win national championships.

Families consistently say one of his greatest strengths is helping juniors quickly see what they are truly capable of — sometimes in a single session, sometimes in a single week.

Brett Pennington — Assistant Golf Professional, Hunting Hills CC

Brett Pennington

ASSISTANT GOLF PRO · HUNTING HILLS CC

Recently helped Faith Christian Middle School win a state championship, including coaching individual champion Lee Phillips. Nearly a decade of coaching experience and actively working toward TPI certification.

“Brett is everything you could want in a coach for a young golfer. An exceptional young man with a heart of gold who genuinely wants to help every person he works with improve.”— James Kasza

FROM PARENTS

What Families Say.

My son dropped 35 shots in less than 4.5 months. Same tournament, same course. 120 to the mid-80s.
Parent of Junior Golfer
My son barely played golf. 6.5 months later, he got a call from a college coach. He gave up baseball to chase this.
D1 Athlete Parent
James doesn't just teach golf — he teaches you about yourself. He helped my daughter compete with joy instead of fear.
Parent

QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK

Good to Know.

No. The Kasza Golf Academy is open to the public. Members and non-members both train with James — every program is tailored to the player, not the membership card.

James coaches juniors from age 4 through college-bound athletes, plus adults of every level. Every program is built around the player's age, goals, and timeline.

Bring your own clubs if you have them, weather-appropriate apparel, and water. If you don't have clubs yet, James can help you find the right setup before you spend a dollar.

Pick a program and reach out via the contact form or book directly on James's Calendly. The intake lets him prep the session before you arrive — no warm-up wasted. Summer camps and clinics are booked through Calendly with limited spots per session.

Sessions can be rescheduled with 24+ hours notice. Inside 24 hours, please reach out directly — James will always try to find another time that works.

The Academy is a long-term build — multi-session monthly programming, strength and speed work integrated with technique, tournament prep, and college recruiting support. It's the full development system, not a single session.

Ready to See What's Possible?

Spots are intentionally limited so every golfer receives real coaching attention. Reserve a session, lock in a camp, or just start a conversation about your goals.
