Fundamentally, the game of golf is simple. Strike the ball towards a target; the closer you get, the higher the percentage you have of making the next shot. It sounds simple enough. Yet, if you have ever played the game, you know there are thousands of opinions in every shot and every phase of the game.

Today, a primary source many golfers turn to when they want to improve their knowledge of the game is the media. Unlike twenty years ago, sources like Facebook, YouTube, and websites are flooding golfers’ minds with content. Television is another popular source used for quick fixes but with content coming from TV personalities and not necessarily the most talented or knowledgeable expert. All these venues are informative but do not address you as an individual golfer and your very specific needs.

RGA recognizes three main challenges in golf: mental, physical, and the process. We can help you overcome your game challenges with a customized lesson plan that focuses on your personal needs. Our staff of over 20 golf professionals continuously study the game and have the knowledge to make you a better golfer. We have experts in personalized performance and application, not just theory and content. Our instructors have certifications in club fitting, 3D motion analysis, biomechanics, fitness, launch monitors, and program development. We sponsor, manage, and mentor professional players and coaches. We also help golfers who have never broken 100.

RGA has been able to do many things in the golf sector that few others can or have done over twenty years of helping golfers. We are more than just a golf school. We are an Academy and we offer you interactive, one on one instruction.  Schedule a private lesson today. There is no better or faster way to improve your game.

How do players get to the next level?

 

Many players are ready to take their games to the next level but do not know what steps to take to achieve their goal. RGA Director Patrick McGuire and his team saw the need, developed the steps, and created the highly successful Path to the Tour.

The Path to the Tour began by choosing players who had the determination and the talent but needed more direction, mentoring and coaching.  Four players were chosen after going through combine format evaluations and achieving the highest scores in a categorized pillar program. Paul Peterson, Shane Smith, Sam Chien, and Hamza Amin were selected to participate in the very first Path to the Tour program. During training with Pat McGuire and his group of RGA professionals, they worked together as a team to reach their goal of obtaining their Tour cards. Each step of their three month journey was captured on film and ultimately lead to the creation of the Documentary, Path to the Tour.

Please watch our teaser below and contact us if you are interested in learning more about the program and starting your Path to the Tour.
