Hoosier Golf Camp - Bloomington, IN

Mike Mayer and Indiana University cordially invite junior golfers to Bloomington this summer for a fun-filled week of great golf instruction at one of the most recognized universities in the country. Coach Mayer and his staff promise to deliver a rewarding experience to beginners and advanced golfers alike.

Each day of camp consists of work in four primary areas: full swing, partial swing, short-game (pitching, chipping, and bunker play) and putting. Daily activities also include playing the IU championship and executive courses. Other activities include: video swing analysis, course management strategy, rules and etiquette seminars and NCAA recruiting/scholarship seminars. The camps conclude with a golf tournament followed by an awards ceremony.

 

CAMP DIRECTOR - MIKE MAYER

Coach Mayer took over the IU coaching helm eleven years ago, after a nine year tenure as assistant coach. Under his guidance and recruiting efforts, the Hoosiers are consistently ranked in the top twenty for Division I college golf. They recently participated in three straight NCAA Championships starting with a berth in the 2003-04 season.  Coach Mayer was named Big Ten and Midwest Region Coach of the Year for the 2005-06 season and the Midwest Region Coach of the Year again in 2008. In addition to excelling on the course, Mayer’s teams have accomplished great things in the classroom. In his eleven years of coaching, IU golfers have earned 48 Academic All-Big Ten honors.  Along with his coaching duties, Mayer serves as Director of Golf for Indiana University and oversees the operation of IU’s entire golf facility, including the state-of-the-art practice area he helped bring to fruition in 2002. He has undergraduate degrees in journalism and literature (1987 - IU) and a master’s degree in sports management (1998 - IU).
