Private Lessons can be an essential piece of a juniors development. The golf swing is a very complex motor pattern, and private lessons can give the coach one on one time to reinforce what material presented in class or to cover a new area. The coaches can then provide additional feedback during the weekly classes and supervised practice as well that supplement the private lessons. Trackman Doppler Radar Analysis Motion Capture 3D Analysis TPI Fitness Screening High-Speed Video Analysis Virtual Lesson Notebook Tournament Preperation On-Course Playing Lessons Why shouldn't we only do private lessons? Private lessons are essential for players serious about getting better, but group training is incredibly important for the juniors to learn and compete with other junior golfers. The group environment is where the junior can test his skills, make new friends and develop a love for the game! COACHING PLAYING PRACTICING

9 24/ 7 Discovery Unprecedented Coaching Support Acquiring the skills necessary to play golf is a process that requires both the guidance of an expert coach and dedicated, focused resolve of the student. To bridge this divide we created the DiscoverGolf app, an interactive coaching portal that allows our staff and student to collaborate on the exact procedures and protocols necessary for achieving short and long-term goals. SUPERVISED PRACTICE Golf's Study Hall The foundation of the DiscoverGolf training system is the education and golf development that our students gain through their weekly group training sessions. However, to best augment these effects we offer supervised practice as a compliment to many of our programs to assist our juniors cement concepts learned during more formal training sessions. "Learning how to learn" i.e., understanding how to create effective self-learning conditions is a foundational concept within our curriculum and something we can address with the task constraints of our supervised training sessions. ** Exact dates/ times of 2018 Supervised Practice Sessions TBD** For the 2018 season, we will be extending these concepts one step further by having the practice environment (driving range, putting green, and short game) dynamically evolving to meet the specific requirements of coach prescribed games/ drills/ challenges. (If you notice poles, cones, and target configurations, please note that they are serving as feedback for a DiscoverGolf student's deliberate practice session. ) COACHING PLAYING PRACTICING

13 Learning System "Leveling Up" the junior golf world How does it work? DiscoverGolf is a 40 level progression through golf's eight core skills. Once logged in, your homepage will show your position relative to Level 40 graduation and the activity of your peer group. 4 2 The progression metrics of DiscoverGolf are XP and Goal Points. Points are earned through completed challenges and assignments in and out of class challenges and tasks. 3 Students will create unique level experiences by selecting a combination of predefined and independent goals. Goals are further narrowed by their "process" or "outcome" classification The coach- student collaboration is at the heart of DiscoverGolf. Every student will have custom challenges sent to their account that address the goals they have selected and the finer details of specific coaching interventions. The DiscoverGolf app is the ultimate communication platform between coach and student. Parents can keep up with all of the action with their own account!

14 Feature Spotlight A closer look at some our favorite features Bat t le Zone Our Battlezone feature allows our students to challenge and accept on course ' battles', which consist of 1, 3, 9, 18 hole matches. Battlezone results are chronicled on the app and are eligible for player's weekly/ monthly goals. For juniors looking to 'cut their teeth' for competitive golf, this is an incredibly effective tool! Par Pursuit We start our junior golfers at the green and work our way back! While playing Par Pursuit, a score of 4 "or par" will move you back 20 yards from the green. Semester-long results are showcased on the app as the race for longest par rages on! We communicate results with parents to make sure families can help set appropriate tee lengths for their junior player. Cust om Challenges The message to our junior athletes is clear: take ownership of your improvement journey! With our custom challenge builder our students can make their own games, submit them to the improvement community and have them integrated into their curriculum.
