INSTRUCTION ACADEMIES MAKE A STATEMENT

 

As most people in the industry know, dedicated golf academy facilities have been the backbone of my career as a golf instructor, both in my time at Sea Island (Georgia) Resort and now at the PGA TOUR’s Performance Center at TPC Sawgrass – which just reopened after an extensive expansion and upgrade of the previous practice facility. I’m a huge supporter and advocate for clubs to incorporate this amenity on property, because they benefit not only the course itself, but also the players who keep in in business. When a golfer’s game improves, they want to play more golf.

TOP PERFORMANCE

 

Home to the PGA TOUR Headquarters, THE PLAYERS Championship, two great golf courses, and one particularly famous Island Green, TPC Sawgrass is to many the pinnacle of the game. With a stunning clubhouse, a great restaurant and bar, museum-quality examples of golf history adorning nearly every wall, and local amenities that include some of the best dining, shopping and beaches in North Florida, it’s no wonder that the club is a dream destination for nearly everyone who’s ever wielded a club. Now fans have one more reason to visit, as the new PGA TOUR’s Performance Center at TPC Sawgrass is open.

PGA Tour Performance Center readies for grand opening

 

The staff at the PGA Tour Performance Center can’t guarantee they’ll get every student hitting like a Tour pro.

But they can guarantee the same tools, service, resources and attention that the best players in the world receive when they stop by to hone their games or tweak their equipment.

The new Performance Center, housed in its 15,000-square foot building nestled in the corner of the TPC Sawgrass practice range, became operational a week after the final round of The Players Championship.

TPC Performance Center will make you better

 

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Gone are the days of hitting iron after iron, driver after driver to find the one that “feels” right. Technology has changed all of that. Measuring every aspect of your golf swing and the result is an every day occurrence in today’s game. The new TPC Performance Center at Sawgrass is tying all aspects of the game together in one place and giving players a chance to be the best player they can be. It’s a big step from an hour on the range hitting 20 different drivers.
