Taking Fitness to the Practice Range In fitness sessions at BGGA, Director of Health & Athletic Development Karen Harrison impresses upon the students a very important link between the physical and the technical. Improving the students strength, flexibility, controlled movement and coordination can really accelerate their technical development. Coaches and students share how these things don’t have to happen just in a gym setting, as they can happen in the field or in our case the range. BGGA Students Start 2018 With Top AJGA Finishes Bishops Gate Golf Academy’s (BGGA) Tracy Lee kicked off the new year with a third-place finish at the AJGA Foley Performance Academy @ EaglesDream Junior Championship at Timacuan Golf & Country Club on January 15, 2018.
