We will split players into groups and have them compete against one another as they would in a high school or college match. During the Practice Facility days (Thursdays) we will go over fitness, putting, short game, irons, woods, and mental. Students will be put through an evaluation at the beginning and end of the season to see where they excel and what needs improvement.

This may be a good group for some of those who would get more out of working around other expert players.
