The golf program at the TGR Learning Lab is designed to promote golf to underserved youth, provide golf-course access, and expose kids to careers in the golf industry. Students gain an understanding of the biomechanical motions of golf swings and kinesthetic movements during a swing, as well as course-management strategies to lower scores. Working with top-notch instructors, students build self-confidence while learning the game in a safe, supportive environment. Golf programs are offered year-round for students of all skill levels. The main goal of the golf program is not just to teach students about the game, but to build etiquette and respect through the game as well. The Player Development Program builds honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship while honing golf knowledge and skills. Student golfers progress through three levels of the program: Level 1-Tour Class, Level 2-Players Class, and Level 3-Masters Class. Each level contains progressive milestones for students to reach. Over 31,343 students have been introduced to the game of golf through the program.References
