The Perfect Learning Environment
Professional Swing Instruction Our team of PGA and LPGA golf professionals has over 75 years combined teaching experience. Learn your “feel” for the game through proper swing mechanics. We’ll identify your swing faults and offer solutions to apply and practice.
Golf Practice Techniques Improvement comes from well-planned, controlled and diverse practice sessions. Our state-of-the-art Accelerized Golf studios provide accurate sensory and visual feedback. Every aspect of the golf swing, from setup to the proper swing motions of the club, can be monitored and improved.
Properly Fit, Quality Equipment Golf clubs created just for you, matched to your body and swing, can really help your game! Our certified team, led by master clubfitter and builder Everett Lockenvitz, will ensure an accurate fit and 100% satisfaction. For sales of whole sets and single clubs, and for expert regripping and repairs, the Academy is ready to serve you.
Golf-Specific Physical Training Dr. Paul Callaway, PT, PhD, provides and leads all awareness and physical training programs. Personal understanding about posture, balance, flexibility, strength and endurance will determine functional mobility, power, consistency and, ultimately, better control of the golf club.
Mental Coaching Great champions in all sports have a keen ability to focus. The Academy offers expert coaching to improve concentration and help you play better golf even in pressure situations. This aspect of the game is often overlooked by golfers seeking improvement but can play a key role in your progress.
