Hank Haney Golf Academy

Emily Matthews, Jessica Liptak and Cain Rocha attended the Hank Haney International Golf Academy in Hilton Head, South Carolina June1-5!  They worked on all aspects of their game and learned to be life skill leaders.  The mental approach to the game and preparations were also stressed.  The students all received a great wealth of information and they all agreed that: Hank Haney himself spent time at the camp and worked inviduallly with each student!

1. you must work hard and the work must be important to you;
2. sometimes you have to get worse in order to improve;
3. and how valuable The First Tee curriculum has been to them!.

They realized that much of what they are taught in The First Tee helps to develop the mental side of their game and the work they did at the Haney Academy was very similar to The First Tee Life Skills curriculum.  This curriculum is very valuable in helping them move forward.  The Academy instructors all commented that The First Tee students are far more prepared for the demands of the game, setting goals and dealing with adversity than the average junior golfer!
