ASSESSMENTS = With each new school year, GGGA welcomes both new and return- ing students. Excitement is in the air and the energy is palpable. At GGGA, all incoming players are assessed at the beginning of each school year regardless of their background, handicap or past tournament experience. Although we factor in the +/- of the player’s history, the assessment process remains the same. This transparent process is a vital component that allows Gary Gilchrist and his team to create training groups and individual development plans according to the exact ‘WHAT’ and ‘WHY’ of the player’s needs as opposed to being clouded by past emotions or results, both good and bad. All areas of our golf program are interdependent, and it is critical to identify the areas that will impact performance. During the first week, players re- ceive a variety of assessments.
