Organized Group Practice Nights:  “Train Like a Team”

Most golfers enjoy hitting balls and working on their games. But truth be told most players do not practice effectively nor do they use their time as efficiently as possible to ensure the greatest chance for improvement.

With the same proven methods that have produced individual and team Big Ten Championships, multiple college tournament wins, and the development of tour players and great amateurs, the coaching staff will organize practice sessions to give you better direction on how and what to practice.

Your game will be monitored weekly through a shot-tracking program that will give the coaching staff a better understanding of what you need to work on. Additionally, you will be required to record your results weekly from personalized practice sessions.

Each player will also receive four, 40-minute private lessons, two on course coaching sessions with a foursome, and 14 group practice sessions. (You are responsible for putting together a foursome for the on course coaching sessions.)

Before the practice sessions begin, you will need to schedule one private lesson.

This program is limited to ten players.

The Scoring Course Challenge

It is no secret that the majority of shots happen from 120 yards or less.  With that said, the WGA coaching staff has created a scoring course to test your ability in this area. Each daily challenge includes one hour of short game and full wedge work, followed by nine holes of on course coaching on the scoring course at the Glenview Prairie Club. There must be at least three players registered in each group.
