The Southport School
Elite & Developmental Golf
Program
2013
The objective
is to continue developing
the
golf team
to a competitive
intercollegiate level and to represent our school well in
skill and character. We will choose
a 10 player team which will be made up of an A & B player squad. In addition, we will be creating a
developmental program for students who would like to improve their skills.
PGA Pro Grant Garrison will coach the team this year’s team; he will also be
preparing and escorting the team to this year’s tournaments and leading all
training sessions. For a Profile on our new Head Coach -
Grant Garrison
The 10 player squad will meet on Wednesday from
3:30-5.30pm
with sessions being held at our new River Range on the TSS campus and various
other locations, please see schedule.
We will again be playing
in 4 tournaments which our practice schedule is built around with 1 event
scheduled each term.
The emphasis this year will be on improving technically, physically, and
mentally.
The
consistent cycle of learning, preparing and performing will be the theme of this
year’s program. Students will experience goal creation, problem solving, and
building confidence through a process that can be applied to every aspect of
life.
Each player will receive a one hour private lesson with the coach at Palm
Meadows driving range including club fitting and video swing analysis. Each player will also receive a TPI
physical screening and personalized speed and strength plan including a
membership to the TPI portal. Both
sessions must be scheduled privately with the coach.
Our practice sessions will include team classroom sessions in personal
development and life lessons learned through the game of golf. We will be placing emphasis on
becoming tournament strong and confident in the character traits associated with
the game.
In addition, we will be offering a 3 Day Golf Camp during the holiday break. Camps will include morning practice,
lessons, lunch, prizes, and transportation to local championship courses for an
18-hole competition.
