A LETTER FROM GARY Dear Friends and Students of GGGA, I hope that each of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year! I’m excited to see our students return for the new spring semester. The goal of every semester is to set realistic goals, overcome challenges, and gain more competitive experience. The coaching team will address the tournament schedule making sure each student will be playing in events that give them the best opportunity to perform. This also allows the coaching team to develop each student’s training plan for the semester. What makes GGGA unique is that each student has their own personal development plan which will be adjusted during the semester. Allowing each student to understand their strengths and have a plan of improvement for any weak areas is key. A great number of students can overcome challenges with mental training. We are thrilled to add a new mental trainer, Nick McMillen, to our team this month. Nick was introduced to the students before the break, and he is really excited to start working on a day-to-day basis with each student. The first few weeks in January will be spent assessing each player using modern technology like Trackman, K-Vest and Body Trak. The students will rotate during the semester being coached by different teachers, experiencing each coaches professional input and guidance. GGGA is where the students train and going to tournaments is where they test their skills and golfing IQ. We had several GGGA students win their division in tournaments over the first semester. Many had great results finishing in the top three places. We also had students have breakthroughs; all of which build confidence. Tiger even says he is trending in the right direction - all he has to do is stick to the process and trust himself in competition. It just proves even the best in the world have to stick to the process. Winning is earned, not given. We have an awesome team at GGGA. If you need to talk to any part of the team, please call the office. We love to hear from you and are always excited to hear from our families and partners. Thanks for all of your continued support of GGGA! All the best,
