First class facilities and instruction is what you can expect from the Nike Golf Camp at Baylor University.  West Waco is the home of Baylor University and beautiful Twin Rivers Golf Club where all golf activities are hosted.

 

Designed by Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy, Twin Rivers boasts a variety of features including elevation changes, dense wooded areas and several lakes and rivers.  A central feature to the course and the camp is the Bailey Golf Center, the home of Baylor's men's and women's golf teams.  The Bailey center houses locker rooms for both teams, offices for the coaches and an indoor practice area complete with state-of-the-art video equipment, available for analyzing player's swings. During the week, campers are housed just off campus at the Clarion Hotel Waco.

 

Camp Director
Directing the camp is Baylor University Men’s Golf Coach, Greg Priest who is in his 6th season as coach of the team. Before becoming head coach of Baylor, Greg was an assistant at the University of Texas, Austin where he compiled three national top ten rankings. Prior to his stint at Texas, Priest spent two seasons (1998-2000) as head coach of both the men’s and women’s golf programs at Sam Houston State University. Priest led the Bearkats to consecutive third-place finishes in the Southland Conference in 1999 and 2000 and seven top-10 team finishes. Before taking the reigns at SHSU, Priest was head coach at Tyler Junior College for two seasons (1996-98) where he was named National Junior College Athletics Association Division II Coach of the National Tournament both seasons.

 

During the Nike Camp, Coach Priest is assisted by a staff of PGA professionals and collegiate players.  Camp staff will consist of the Baylor University Golf coaching staff, local PGA Professionals and Division I collegiate players, who serve as camp counselors. Golf instruction will focus on improving the camper’s swing, short game, putting, and course management. We are dedicated to improving not only the camper’s fundamentals, but their mental game as well.
