Summer Varsity Prep is a program designed for current high school golfers with the desire to play Varsity Golf. Hank Haney, former coach to Tiger Woods and current TGP Academy advisor, teaches that the easiest way to lower scores is to eliminate penalty strokes, 3 putts, and 2 chips. The varsity prep training is designed to help each student identify why they make these mistakes, what they can do to fix them, and then give them the opportunity on the course to practice. The Tuesday class will meet at The Golf Practice, where students will be able to use TrackMan learn about their “big miss,” and learn how to make corrections in their technique and their strategy to avoid penalty strokes. Students will be taught a reliable chip, pitch, and bunker shot. They will also be taught putting from a distance control perspective, designed at eliminating 3 putts. The Thursday class will meet at Sunset Valley Golf Club where students will play 9 holes with a coach. They will be given different tasks to bring awareness and control to their tempo, tension, and balance, as well as their mindset while on the course. Coaches will also help with strategy by teaching students how to select a proper target on their tee shots, and approach shots into greens.
