Player Development Program Brochure

Player Development Program (PDP) Overview The mission of the PDP is to coach and assist in the development of players through an elite training program. We help motivated players develop their skills to reach their competitive aspirations through high school, college, and professional golf. Players are trained using our Key Indicators of Success, which are needed for a competitive player to excel. By keeping statistics on their game, players track their weaknesses and understand their strengths. Individual evaluation results and statistics direct them as they work with appropriate team members during each visit. The program includes 64 hours of personalized instruction with a combination of Sea Island specialist coaches, as well as online training from home with the Lead Player Development Coach. Players also have access to practice in private Sea Island practice areas and receive a discount at all Sea Island hotels when available. Lead Player Development Coach As Lead Player Development Coach, Daniel Gray oversees all players in the PDP, working with players on the mechanics of their full swing and short game and playing the role of overall coach. Daniel assists players with tournament selection and preparation, yardage book design, on-course decision making, and overall practice planning. He has helped develop programs at the University of Northwestern and multiple private clubs around the country. Team Coaching Approach The PDP’s team coaching method is similar to that of the world’s best tour professionals. This approach has been the foundation of the Sea Island Golf Performance Center coaching philosophy for decades. Our specialists have worked with some of the best juniors in the country, helping them develop into successful collegiate and PGA Tour players.
