Curriculum

A semester of golf training will encompass a curriculum of game development exercises. One of the biggest lessons to be learned is how to effectively work on your golf game during a season. It is important to be on an effective cycle where you have the time to develop new skills, learn how to use these skills on the course, compete with these skills, and then have time to rest and evaluate what you have worked on.

During the Fall Semester we will be working 5 days a week and competing.

You will have three 2-hour training sessions each week with Chris and 2 On-Course Practice Sessions where you will work on what Chris has prepared for you each week.

This program is available for juniors golfers 12-18. This program is also open to college golfers under age 20 who are not currently on a college golf team. Great for players who need another year of training before playing college level golf. Great program for junior college players not currently on a team.

Performance Institute Program will include:
• Fitness program designed for each individual to see maximum results for long term
   golf success.
• Mental Game Training with Chris and a Sports Psychologist.
• Swing Improvement: More repeatable/ More shot making ability/ more reliable
• Distance: We will work to develop optimal distance off the tee through swing improvements    and fitness development. The game has turned into a power game and we will work to    getting you to the highest level.
• Distance Control: Through Use of Drills, Range Finders, and other tools used by Chris we will    dial in all of your clubs so you can hit to every yardage with confidence.
• Putting Dominance: All great players are great putters. We will work extra hard on this area    to develop long term reliable fundamentals and a drill program for improved speed control.    A Major amount of time will be spent on Reading Greens and understanding greens better    and understanding your putting system.
• Short Game Mastery: Shot selection and short game development.
