The Wildcat Golf Junior Academy is a year-round program geared toward highly motivated and competitive junior golfers who have the desire to compete at the highest level, locally, regionally and nationally. Co-founders Pat Goss and Jeff Mory will utilize the same coaching strategies and principles that they used in building their successful college programs

These programs have produced seven individual Big Ten Championships (Scott Rowe, 1995; Jonathan Loosemore, 1996; Luke Donald, 2000 and 2001; Chris Wilson, 2006; Eric Chun, 2009; David Lipsky, 2010), four Big Ten titles (1999-2001, 2006), and seven top-30 NCAA national finishes.

Goss coached Luke Donald, for over 20 years including when he earned the world’s No. 1 ranking in June 2011 in the Official World Golf Ranking; he held the No. 1 ranking for 56 weeks. He was the NCAA collegiate champion and National Player of the Year in 1999. He has also done short game and putting work with many PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, and European Tour players including for Trevor Immelman, Webb Simpson, Nick Watney, David Lipsky and Keegan Bradley. Many of his other former players are competing on the PGA Tour, Nationwide Tour, European Tour, Canadian Tour, Challenge Tour, NGA Hooters Tour and the Gateway Tour. Mory’s current roster of golf students are competing at Big Ten, Big East and Pac-10 schools.
