GARY GILCHRIST
Junior Golf’s No. 1 Coach
Simply put, Gary Gilchrist is synonymous with junior golf. In a coaching career that spans more than
20 years, Gilchrist has been responsible for recruiting, training and developing more top-ranked junior
level golfers than any other coach in the business.
In 1995, Gilchrist was charged with developing the first full-time junior golf academy in the world. He
has built several world-renowned academies and trained many teachers into becoming distinguished
coaches. Gary Gilchrist has dedicated his life coaching top junior amateurs and golf professionals,
many of whom have won several tournaments and major championships. Over the years, his players
have accepted scholarships to many of the best NCAA and NAIA colleges at every level throughout the
United States.
Though Gilchrist was initially trained as a technical teacher, he quickly realized if he was to take golfers
to the next level, they needed to master more than just technique. His students’ success comes from
his philosophy of five main areas - a comprehensive training program that incorporates every aspect of
being a champion. Welcome to the Gary Gilchrist Golf Academy!
“It has always been my goal to grow and
support the game through education
and coaching, both teachers and junior
golfers, to help them reach their full
potential and realize their dreams.”
