KAyjay mcclay
KayJay McClay leads the golf program with experience, discipline, and a clear standard for development. He is a PGA Class A Professional and former NCAA Division I golfer who grew up in a competitive golf family with over 100 junior titles. Golf shaped his early development and continues to guide his work today. He has trained and worked at some of the most respected private clubs in the country, where expectations are high and consistency matters. Those environments shaped his belief that excellence comes from structure, accountability, and daily habits.
KayJay first joined this camp in 2012 as Head Boys Counselor, and his return as Director of Golf reflects a long-term commitment to this program and its athletes.
KayJay McClay is committed to developing young golfers through a clear and structured approach built on fundamentals, confidence, and individual attention. His coaching starts with the belief that strong fundamentals create long-term success, but he builds from the individual, not a fixed system. Each camper is assessed, supported, and guided based on their current level. Confidence comes first, followed by technical development and consistent improvement.
What separates KayJay is both his background and his ability to connect with young athletes. He grew up in a high-level junior golf environment and has coached in data-driven systems like GOLFTEC, where progress is measured and communicated clearly. He combines that structure with a personal approach that makes each camper feel known and supported. This balance allows him to develop not only better swings, but more focused and resilient athletes.
His teaching extends beyond mechanics. Campers learn how to think, prepare, and compete. He emphasizes focus, decision-making, and composure, helping athletes build the mental habits required for competitive golf. At camp, he shares his experience as a Division I player and coach in a way that is direct and practical. Whether your child is new to the game or preparing for varsity competition, they receive coaching that is clear, consistent, and built for long-term growth.

The focus stays on building athletes who are prepared to compete, contribute to a team, and succeed in a college program.
