Napa, Calif. (May 16, 2017) – Silverado Resort and Spa is now offering The Johnny Miller Golf Academy (JMAG) for golfers interested in improving their game. Johnny Miller, co-owner of Silverado Resort and Spa, is known for being one of the greatest ball strikers to ever play the game of golf. Specifically he is known for his ability to hit his irons close and shoot very low scores. At the JMAG participants are taught Johnny’s approach to not just be golfers but to become PLAYERS. The creativity, thinking, and techniques that Johnny used to become one of the best players in the world will be shared with each student of JMGA.
Run by an instructional staff trained by Johnny Miller himself, Tara Fox, Director of Instruction at Silverado Resort and Spa is overseeing the Johnny Miller Golf Academy along with Andy Miller, one of Johnny Miller’s sons and previous PGA Tour Card holder. Tara is an LPGA Class A Teaching Professional originally from the Napa Valley. The Johnny Miller Golf Academy is unlike any other Academy in that it is “play based.” The Academy incorporates personalized on-course playing lessons to test new skills on the golf course.
State of the art video equipment and flight scope are used to assess each player’s game. Also, functional fitness (to prevent injury) will be discussed, and a training manual will be provided for every student.
The JMAG will offer two-day schools and the itineraries include full swing analysis, ball striking drills, short game and putting drills, warm up exercises, game goal setting and a personal playing schedule for maximum improvement results.
In addition to two 18-hole championship golf courses, Silverado features 370 guests rooms, a full service Spa, 10 tennis courts and 10 swimming pools as well as close proximity to Napa Valley’s over 400 wineries.
