2016-2017 SWSAS Golf Program
The South West Sydney Academy of Sport is accepting nominations from athletes interested in being considered for selection into the 2016-2017 Academy Golf program.
The 2016-2017 Golf Program will move from a competition focus to a development focus to help improve golfer’s skill level and understanding of the game.
- Athletes must reside, attend school or be registered with a golf club within the Academy area to be eligible for the program. The Academy area includes: Campbelltown, Camden, Liverpool and Wollondilly Council areas.
- Be a registered member of a golf club within the region.
Athletes submitting a nomination for inclusion in the Academy Golf scholarship program are required to acknowledge that the acceptance for their nomination will be at the sole discretion of the Academy.
Scholarships are not in the form of a monetary sum, but rather enable athletes to participate in the Academy program that includes training workshops and camps. These workshops include access to high level coaching, analysis of technique, sports science testing, sport psychology, nutrition, and drugs in sport awareness.
The 2016/2017 Golf Program is a varied development program, giving participants exposure to experts in various golfing fields and associated golfing technology, which are not readily accessible to individuals.
Squad members will receive not only golf instruction but also vital information from industry leaders in sports psychology, golf physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, as well as media training.
The program is NOT a replacement for a squad members current coaching, but an extension of what is being received. It is vital that players continue with their current individual coaching at their home club with their Golf Professional.
The skills component of the program will run over 3 full day sessions each with a PGA member running the development day.
We urge all young players, if you have the desire to take your game to the next level, please get your application into the SWSAS head office as soon as possible.
