I think my ideal learning environment for junior golfers depends on the junior golfer and their skill level and goals in golf. If I have a junior with a lot of talent who wants to play college or pro golf, I would recommend that they take private individual range/short game lessons with playing lessons and a big focus on the mental game. If I have a junior golfer that just wants to play for fun, I may recommend them to a group lesson environment with other junior golfers. Either way, I usually put a huge focus on attitude and how juniors should always conduct themselves on the golf course (with good etiquette) when teaching any kids.
