Initial Evaluation and Instructional Session
Players complete an initial evaluation and initial instruction session during their first two-day visit that includes an assessment of all areas of the player’s game including:
Mechanics
Putting Assessment
Full swing Assessment
Short Approach Assessment
Club Specification Check and Recommendations
Fitness Assessment
Mental Approach Assessment
Nutritional Assessment
On-Course Evaluations
Players will also work in the areas of course strategy, tournament preparation, college recruitment preparation, and transitioning to their college atmosphere as a collegiate golfer, and life after college as a professional for the College Development Program.
The training doesn't stop when you leave.
Remote Online Training Sessions
After the initial visit, and in between check-in visits, players will have monthly online coaching sessions. Players will post content on their game through an online program called Edufii (www.edufii.com), and review with the coach.
Training Between Check-Ins
Ongoing training and creating an environment at your home facility that will breed development are key to this program. We will set up weekly/monthly structured plans known as a periodization plan, a chart that will help maximize your time and efforts while training at home. Players have weekly workouts, specific practice sessions, playing sessions, and other key areas of development that are related to their overall progression strategy. The periodization plan will also help players manage their time throughout the year to help them peak at appropriate times during the season.
Quarterly Check-In Visits
After the three-month “at home” training period is complete, players schedule another visit to reevaluate, work on core deficiencies, and meet with specialists we have on our team to help in different areas based on their statistical weaknesses and Key Indicators of Success. Players will complete similar evaluations each time they are here training at Sea Island to help baseline their progress and help set their next three-month “at home” training sessions.
College Development Program
A program for players striving to take their game to the highest level in the collegiate arena and potentially play at the professional level after college, this program follows a similar model to the College Prep Program (with quarterly visits, evaluations, and remote training sessions between sessions), but differs in the discussions of the logistics of playing at the professional level and what that journey requires. This is a player specific program. Every player’s experience will be different and will be specific to their needs to reach their competitive playing goals.
