New junior academy features world class facility with world class instructors
MIAMI, Fl (March 29, 2010) – Junior Golfers attending the new Jim McLean Junior Academy beginning this August will be given 100% access to one of the most advanced golf training facilities in the world, The Jim McLean Golf Center-Texas, a learning facility that world-renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio called “The Best!”.
Designed by Top-100 Teacher Jim McLean (ranked No. 4 in the world), the Jim McLean Golf Center has everything covered, literally and figuratively.
Located in the heart of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metropolitan area, the Jim McLean Golf Center has five indoor hitting bays each outfitted with the latest computer technology for complete golf swing analysis. Each student will have their swing recorded and entered into a database where instructors will be able to break down every aspect of the swing and pinpoint strengths and weaknesses, and develop improvement programs based on what the student is doing and what the student should be doing to improve their game.
Physical fitness has become a crucial ingredient in developing a strong, and all-around golf game, and the golf-fitness instructors from Back9Fitness will manage the student’s athletic development. A 3,500-square-foot fitness center featuring the latest in exercise equipment is also located in the Jim McLean Golf Center. Every student will complete a functional movement screening to properly assess and indentify his or her specific physical abilities and limitations, and from here they will be given personalized corrective exercise and conditioning plan to help them reach their athletic potential.
An integral part of the student’s development is being fit for the correct equipment, and all students will go through club fittings and have their clubs consistently monitored throughout the year utilizing the TrackMan™ Launch Monitor, a technology that measures a student’s club delivery and the full trajectory of any shot ranging from short pitches to long drives. Students will also have access to a large selection of testing equipment to ensure the right specifications, as well as, the best combination of clubs in their bag.
To practice, a 50,000-square foot short game area, lighted driving range with numerous greens and bunkers, multi-purpose wedge-game area, bunker practice area, and two putting greens are available at all times … and “The Legends Scoring Nine”, a challenging layout that provides a variety of opportunities for students to test and develop their game awaits. This course, designed by Fazio and McLean, features a variety of par-3 and par-4 holes; has sidehill, uphill, and downhill lies; and multiple tee boxes on each hole.
Waterchase Golf Club, a par-72 layout which measures over 7,300-yards from the tips, and features five three-pars and five five-pars, will test a student’s course-management skills and ball-striking abilities.
Additionally, studios for lessons on the mental game and nutrition are also located in the Jim McLean Golf Center as well.
