Developing Champions from the Ground Up

Golf4Kids Academy played a defining role in both my development as a golfer and as a person. When I first started, I was a very shy kid, but through the structure, encouragement, and mentorship I received, golf became more than just a sport: it became a pathway to confidence, discipline, and leadership. Competing and eventually winning MAPGA Junior Player of the Year in 2018 was a meaningful milestone, but the growth I experienced along the way was even more valuable.

I was also honored to be a recipient of the Tony Marlowe Scholarship for academic achievement and golf etiquette, which provided $40,000 toward my college education. This recognition reflected the values that Golf4Kids helped instill in me both on and off the course.

Through golf, I learned how to communicate, take initiative, and step into leadership roles that I never would have imagined for myself as a younger student. In high school at Holton-Arms School, I co-founded and co-captained the golf team, which further strengthened my leadership abilities and ability to collaborate, organize, and guide a team. These experiences carried forward into my time at Georgetown, where I served as President of the 1634 Society and helped lead fundraising efforts that contributed over $100,000 toward scholarships.

I've been fortunate to stay in touch with Coach Keith, who has continued to be a mentor to me throughout college and now as I prepare to begin medical school in Fall 2026. His patience, kindness, and commitment go far beyond teaching the technical aspects of golf; he instills life skills, integrity, and confidence in his students.

We started working with Keith in April 2024, and the progress Myra has made since then has been remarkable. In a little over a year she went from shooting in the 90s to consistently scoring in the mid-to-high 70s from longer distances. She's won multiple tournaments, placed at districts, and is now the #1 player on her high school team as a freshman. What sets Keith apart is his ability to connect with junior golfers. Myra trusts him, looks forward to their sessions, and he's inspired her to practice with purpose and work hard to improve. Keith keeps changes clear and manageable, and his coaching translates directly to scoring and confidence in competition. He's become a mentor to Myra, and we're grateful for the impact he's had on her development.

Our daughter, Lena, has been receiving golf instruction from Keith Robertson since she was 8-years-old. Keith Robertson and his Golf 4 Kids Academy has propelled Lena's golf game to a level that we never thought possible. The academy offers a variety of types of instruction that are tailored to kids! Lena has benefitted tremendously from attending weekly clinics, in combination with individual instruction, summer camps, and group playing lessons. Keith truly has a gift when it comes to coaching kids. His kind, patient, and encouraging manner, combined with his passion and knowledge of the game of golf is a rare find. Lena has developed a love and respect for her coach that is inspiring her to compete at the tournament level and continue to raise her game to new heights. ~Dennis and Caroline Capoccia, Parents of Lena Capoccia

Our daughter Graysen has been a part of Golf 4 Kids Academy for the past four years. During that time, she has received quality information and hands on instruction about the mental, physical, and technical aspects of the game and has evolved into a solid Junior golfer. The Academy has allowed Graysen to hone her skills in a challenging, fun, and personal environment. The sport of golf can be frustrating, grinding, monotonous, detail-oriented, and a solitary pursuit and we are extremely thankful that Graysen and her fellow students are able to learn in such a positive and welcoming place and from an instructor who is unquestionably committed to his craft and to going the extra mile to ensure that every student recognizes how special they are. From the early beginners to the more seasoned students, Keith and his team take a keen interest in the little, individual details of every player's swing. Kudos to Keith and his staff for creating an academy with a family atmosphere that consistently puts out some of the best golfers in the area. ~Archie and Suena Bright, Parents of Graysen Bright

Keith Robertson is a great, awesome and funny coach. He has taught and coached me for about 4 years. He has really helped and improved my golf swing and techniques. With his coaching, my score went from 56 for 9 holes to 40, in less than one and half years. Last year, I was the second place of Middle Atlantic (MAPGA) 10-11 year old tournaments. Thanks to Keith, I have won many local tournaments. Keith is a wonderful and humorous coach and I will continue to take lessons from him.

I highly recommend golf4kids academy. In the three years I have spent with Keith Robertson, I have dropped from shooting 120 to 80, a drastic change that I attribute to Keith's instruction and guidance. His knowledge about the golf swing as well as his friendly and helpful personality makes learning and practice both educational and enjoyable. Switching to Keith as my golf coach was the best decision I ever made in my golf career.

I met Keith 5 years ago as a complete beginner for the first time. Since then, my game has risen to a level I never thought I could get to. Not only did he teach me the fundamentals and techniques necessary to score consistently, but he showed me how to apply these techniques in practice and competition. He's become one of my trusted friends as well as a beloved coach. Thanks Keith!

Lennard played collegiate golf at Morehouse College. He was also the first player in the Washington DC First Tee Program to play in the PURE Insurance Championship at Pebble Beach.

Our daughter Andie has been taking lessons with Keith Robertson since April 2021, just a year after she first picked up a golf club. Keith has truly been instrumental in Andie's golf game and life. He constructed her swing with the use of different modalities, always taking the time to explain his vision. His deep knowledge of the golf swing, combined with his fun loving personality, has been the perfect blend to enable Andie to reach her goals. In the short time Andie has played the game of golf, she has become an extremely competitive and nationally ranked golfer. Keith's use of visual modalities and tools including the MEGSA machines has been especially impactful, equipping Andie with the tools and confidence to truly understand her swing and make her own adjustments on the course. Keith not only teaches the technical aspects of the game with such passion but also instills discipline, confidence, and a love for the sport. His methods have been pivotal in Andie's journey toward achieving her dream of playing college golf. Words cannot express our deep gratitude for Keith.

I have known Keith for the better part of ten years now. When I came to Keith for help, he welcomed me with open arms. I struggled throughout my college career and Keith assured me that I had what it takes to be a better player regardless of my struggles. We worked endlessly and thankfully I can say after years of commitment and practice with Keith I have made major improvements. I feel more confident in myself and my game due to the endless help that I have received from Keith. I now am a PGA professional myself and I am thankful to Keith also helping me navigate that process. I have seen him not only help me but many other golfers and more specifically juniors that want to play at a higher level. He is truly a leader in the game of golf in our area and I am forever thankful for how he has helped me.
