Nike Golf Camps and UConn’s David Pezzino Team Up
February 18, 2016 – Nike Golf Camps recently announced the addition of an overnight camp in Connecticut for the summer of 2016. UConn Men’s Golf Coach, David Pezzino, directs the camp with help from area pros and college players. Pezzino has a long history with Nike Golf Camps, dating back to his coaching days at University of Illinois, where he assisted Illini Men’s Golf Coach, Mike Small, with his annual Nike Camps.
“Dave is a high character guy with a proven track record developing his players into successful student athletes,” states Jason West, senior vice president for Nike Golf Camps. “We’ve collaborated on several junior golf programs over the years and he always delivers a memorable and meaningful learning experience.”
The Nike Golf Camp in Connecticut is offered June 25-29. Campers reside on campus at the University of Connecticut and travel a short distance to Mohegan Sun Golf Club for instruction and course play each day. The program is coed and players of all abilities are welcome.
“I am excited to be working with two iconic brands, Nike and Mohegan Sun,” says David Pezzino. “Nike Golf is the brand young exciting players play and The Mohegan Sun Golf facilities are outstanding in every way. The course is always in fantastic shape and the staff is superb. We’ll provide junior golfers with a fun and educational golf experience.”
