What are the benefits of group training?

  • Students learn faster and retain more in group sessions. Student interaction with the group creates a dynamic learning environment and encourages fun and participation.
  • Group training creates an atmosphere of competition. Students compete against each other in games and drills on and off the course that are designed to simulate actual playing conditions.
  • Group training increases motivation and encouragement from others in the group.
  • Progress is easier to measure when comparing your performance to others in the group.
  • Group training can be more efficient. Although this may seem contrary to common sense, you actually can be more efficient in a group session. Why? Because of the competitive environment, everyone wants to work harder, faster, and get better than the person next to them.
  • Competitive environment. You work harder next to someone you see as competition. Now imagine all of your training sessions supercharged by being surrounded by multiple athletes with similar goals and mindsets, each competing to outwork the other. That is an environment conducive to building serious strength and power!
  • Camaraderie, better focus, more fun, see results quicker.
  • Research shows that members that are involved in programs are more likely to stick with it.
  • Price point is a quarter of the cost of private lessons.

I've made it to collegiate golf. Why keep training at PWG?

  • Most athletic scholarships are only good for one year from the date of signing. In order to maintain the current scholarship or have a chance to obtain more scholarship money, it’s imperative for the post grad to continue to improve his/her game and continue to contribute more toward the team and move up on the team roster.
  • The better the post grad can become at golf the better chance it will assist them in their career regardless of their career choice. Whether an accountant or an engineer, if one can maintain their game at a high level, people look up to you.
  • As post grads continue to play college golf they will be competing at higher and higher levels. Group competitions create situations where students experience the same pressures as tournament golf. Post grads continue to learn how to compete and get away from the technique of the swing and learn how to score and compete.
