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.
