At
Georgia Golf Performance (GGP) we have created the “Performance
Pathway” to serve as a guide for juniors to achieve the Performance goals
they desire. The Performance Pathway consists of:
- Playing Evaluations
- Golf Skill Evaluations
- Club PT Fitness/Physical Therapy Evaluations
The
critical information gathered through these 3 evaluations, combined with the
junior’s performance goals determines where the junior is placed on the Performance
Pathway:
1. Pathway to Fundamentals
2. Pathway to Foundations
3. Pathway to Elite Performance
4. Pathway to Collegiate Performance
5. Pathway to Tour Performance
A
junior can apply for an interview if they are new to GGP to ensure they are
placed at the correct level of the Performance Pathway.
