Meet NOONAN: The AI Golf Mentor Helping Young Players Get Smarter, Stronger—and Scholarship Ready
From first swing to college signing day—NOONAN is your guide.
Built by golfers for golfers, NOONAN was created for one powerful reason:
To help young golfers *learn the game the right way*—and for those who fall in love with it, to build the skills, confidence, and portfolio they need to earn a college golf scholarship.
This isn’t just a training app. NOONAN is your caddie, coach, mentor, and recruiter—all in one digital bag.
Why We Built NOONAN
Too many young golfers plateau early, train without structure, or miss out on scholarships—not because they lack talent, but because they lack guidance. NOONAN exists to fix that.

2. Purpose-Built Practice Routines
NOONAN transforms every practice session into a strategic opportunity to grow:
Short game drills that mimic college team drills
Putting drills for pressure putts and lag control
Tempo work that builds tournament rhythm
Sample “College Tryout” Prep Drill
15-yard pitch to 3 zones (5 balls each)
10x pressure putts (inside 6 feet)
3-hole tee box simulation under time pressure
3. Mental Game Training
Scholarship golf is a mental sport. NOONAN teaches:
* Pre-shot routines that calm nerves
* Emotional bounce-back after a bad hole
* Tournament composure for recruiters watching
“The difference between 75 and 79? Your brain on the 16th tee.”
4. Stats-Driven Skill Building
NOONAN goes beyond tracking. He translates your numbers into drills.
Upload your stats (GIR, scrambling %, 3-putts), and get:
* Performance insights
* Drill prescriptions
* Tournament-readiness checklists
Example Insight:
Your fairway misses are left 70% of the time. Let's adjust setup and commit to a 3-ball fade drill.
5. Tournament Discovery + College Contact Toolkit
You can’t get recruited without being seen. NOONAN helps you show up:
* Finds 3–5 **affordable, competitive local events** based on age/region
* Prepares **email templates for college coaches**—customized, compelling, and typo-free
* Tracks and organizes **your results for your player portfolio**
Sample Email Opener (NOONAN Style):
"Coach \[Last Name], I’ve been following your team’s season—huge congrats on the top finish at Big 12s. I’m a 2026 grad from Austin, TX averaging 75. Would love to learn about your program and share my schedule..."

Every round, stat, and tournament result feeds into your Recruiting Portfolio—a one-stop dashboard for your journey. NOONAN helps you:
* Organize highlights and scorecards
* Craft your golfer bio

* Weekly routines that balance school, practice, and recovery
* Prioritized practice blocks
* Burrito Time™ included (non-negotiable)

Final Word: NOONAN is the Future of Junior Golf Development
At Aesthetica Design Studios, we didn’t build NOONAN for laughs (though he’s hilarious).
We built him because too many promising golfers fall through the cracks. Not anymore.

Make the game more accessible
Train smarter, not harder
Help more juniors earn the golf scholarships they deserve
