Our student-athletes’ schedules closely resemble a typical collegiate athlete schedule, teaching them the skills to manage their time, prioritize tasks, and self-monitor their progress. The student athletes start most mornings in the gym, then work on academics, and spend the afternoons at golf practice with our expert coaching staff. Our mission is to foster high moral character in our student-athletes through academic rigor and a deep commitment to the game of golf. This environment has led to: • Over 100 athletes competing at over 80 different colle...ges and universities • Multiple NCAA-All American awards • Professional victories on the PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, PGA Tour Canada and PGA of America • Over 100 wins on the AJGA, Hurricane Junior Golf Tour, Junior PGA, US Kids Junior Tour as well as several USGA titles.
