ELITE JUNIOR GOLF TRAINING PROGRAM
JULY 2018 VARSITY TRAINING & EDUCATION CENTER
VARSITY SKILLS CAMP
BASELINE TESTING utilizing PGA Tour technology to establish player ability through in depth skill assessments in all areas of the game.
ABOUT athletes (besides golfers) track their progression in each aspect of the game to guarantee improvements. Most golfers take “1-hour” golf lessons to improve their game. Technique is important, but not the only thing needed to achieve your potential.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL our goal is to provide golfers the tools and resources to be the best golfer possible. Through research, experience and statistical data analysis we have created testing with measurable data for players to use to improve all areas of their game
Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
