Golf Program

 


The Golf Program began in 2000. Darren Cole was appointed as Head Coach in 2004 although he and Program Manager Peter Brown were actively involved in the program from its commencement. More recently, Darren has also been appointed to a coaching position with the Victorian Institute of Sport's Golf Squad.

The Academy's Program is particularly focussed on younger golfers with potential for future State junior team selection.

The program places emphasis on technical skills. Video analysis is used to identify flaws in technique and individual drills and programs are provided to correct them. Strength and conditioning programs are also provided to assist with golfers' posture, balance and control.

The Academy's program has been based at Yallourn Golf Club where the Committee and Club members have generously supported the program. However, training days are also provided at golf courses across Gippsland to broaden golfers' skills and experience.

We are also grateful for the support and endorsement of the Victorian Golf Association and Women’s Golf Victoria since the program's inception.
