A LETTER FROM GARY Dear Friends, I always look forward to the beginning of the new school year! Each new year brings so much excitement and energy to our academy. I love getting to know our new students and welcoming our returning students back home for another year of training and development. I would like to acknowledge my coaching, housing, and administration team for the fine effort and preparations to welcome all of our students and families during this initial period. There is a ton of work that goes on “behind the scenes” that makes for our successful orientation process. Every member of the GGGA team goes above and beyond during this time and I am grateful for such a supportive and caring staff. My coaching staff has already completed technical, mental, and fitness assessments for each student and we are now in the process of creating personal development plans. These plans are unique to every student and will help them achieve their own personal goals. There is no doubt in my mind that many of our students will achieve remarkable success this year on the golf course and also in the classroom. The best part of my job is supporting our students to build confidence. It all begins with quality practice and preparation and trusting in the process. With consistent, quality training, students begin to see improvement very quickly. Golf is a game that demands respect. If you love and respect the game, the game will love you back. It is going to be a fantastic year, full of achievements and success stories! I look forward to sharing them throughout the year. All the best,
