CONSOLIDATION OF BISHOPS GATE
AND OLD CAROLINA
As you may know, we decided to close
our Old Carolina campus and consolidate
operations at our Bishops Gate campus, in
Florida. Our goal is to improve operations, by
combining the best of two academies, reduce
costs and deliver a better student experience.
There are several contributing factors in the
timing of this decision but none greater than
the Coronavirus disease.
We are working in a collaborative manner and
taking the necessary steps to ensure IJGA
remains the premier junior golf academy.
While these steps will mean change and
some sacrifice, taken together they offer
a vision for lifting IJGA to a higher level,
enhancing our ability to create value.
There are many benefits derived from the
consolidation and IJGA has a bright future.
Our goal is to build the best junior golf
development program in the world. Bishops
6
Gate is the only junior golf academy with its
own golf course onsite. It also has 50,000
square feet of training tee space, 30,000
square feet of putting and short game
greens, and 15,000 square feet of bunkers.
There is no other golf training environment
better equipped to develop junior golfers.
We have assembled a world-class coaching
team, under the guidance of Gary Gilchrist,
Director of Golf. Gary has been named
to Golf Magazine’s top 100 teacher in
America. Four head coaches, each with an
assistant, ensure our student-golfers receive
personalized evaluation and instruction. Plans
are underway to build a new Performance
Center to house the latest technology, such
as: Swing Catalyst, TrackMan, 3D Motion
Capture and more. This technology, coupled
with expert coaches, produces tremendous
results.
