Carolina Junior Development Institute
A clear pathway for elite junior development.
Charles is honored to partner with his friend and decades-long colleague, Doug Wherry, founder of the Carolina Junior Development Institute, as CJDI’s Pinehurst Director of Instruction.
The Carolina Junior Development Institute was founded to provide a clear, intentional pathway for junior golfers seeking long-term development—both on and off the course. Located in the Pinehurst area, CJDI is built on the belief that meaningful progress comes from structure, accountability, and coaching environments that prioritize growth over short-term results.
CJDI blends technical instruction, performance training, and character development to prepare athletes for the demands of competitive golf and life beyond the game. Programs are intentionally selective, ensuring each athlete is placed in an environment aligned with their ability, maturity, and goals.
At CJDI, development is measured not only by scores, but by preparation, discipline, and consistency.
The whole player, clearly understood
Better golf is not built by collecting and layering the swing tip of the day.
It begins by discovering what is true for the individual player: how the individuals body organizes motion, how the mind processes information and what the player needs to see, feel and trust their swing and on course decision making.
The goal is not a perfect-looking swing. It is a powerful, efficient, and reliable swing built from the ground up that supports consistent play.
A simple architecture
Vision. Routine. Motion.
Three connected elements that quiet distraction and make good golf more available.
01
Vision
Expand what you see and understand so that shot selection and course management becomes clear, confident and effective.
02
Routine
Develop a concise and purposeful routine—the reliable voice you can trust under scorecard pressure.
03
Motion
Pattern efficient movement until a precise, repeatable action feels natural rather than forced.

The game after everything changed
Rebuilding from the ground up.
After a life-altering bicycle accident and catastrophic injuries, Charles had to rebuild his own game with a new body, and a new “normal.”
During his years of recovery, he drew on every ounce of a lifetime spent coaching, training and studying human performance—this time with himself as the student. The process deepened his belief that learning must be exacting, joyful, and insightful without becoming needlessly complicated.
What emerged was more than a return to golf and teaching. It was a renewed perspective and commitment to the privilege of helping another person discover what is still possible despite the circumstance.

The craft became both more joyful and more precise.
Ways to work together

03
Clinics & appearances
Empowering Excellence
Engaging clinics, exhibitions, hosting and speaking for junior, corporate, charitable and professional events.
“
He has an eye for efficient body motion that is second to none—and an equally keen sense of how the mind moves. It is a unique combination of teaching skills which few possess.

Experience that connects generations
A lifetime of learning—and passing it forward.
