Nike Junior Golf Camps
Nike Junior Golf Camp at Berry College returns for another fantastic summer and we invite junior golfers to join Brian Farrer and John Maupin for a week of top-notch golf instruction! Rome, GA sits just outside of Atlanta and features spectacular accommodations on campus at Berry College.
Berry College offers an unusually beautiful environment for learning on its 26,000-acre campus, one of the world's largest. Fields, forests, lakes and mountains provide scenic beauty in a protected natural setting.
Nike Junior Golf Camps accommodate all skill levels; the junior player just discovering the game, the high school player trying to move up on the team, and the tournament level junior looking to improve his or her tournament results. All aspects of the game are addressed during the camp; putting, chipping, pitching, full swing, strategy, rules, and etiquette. Campers participate in drills, skills challenges, and other fun games throughout the camp week.
Highlights Include
- Daily instruction from experienced college golf coaches with a low student/teacher ratio
- Supervised course play (9-18 holes daily) focusing on strategy, shot selection, course management, rules and etiquette
- Accommodations at the prestigious Berry College
- Camper amenity package including a Nike hat, drawstring bag, SRIXON golf balls, camp workbook and graduation certificate
- Fun, supervised off-course evening activities
- Safe, healthy and fun learning environment
