Lion Golf Academy - Mission Bay GC
San Diego CA
With the next generation of children expected to live shorter lifespans than their parents, we decided to create a program that uses our personalized curriculum, the American Development Model and hired the best PGA professionals we could find to coach our students. We believe in creating a situation where a student will become an athlete for life, and live well beyond that grim expectation. Our system has proven results from the many years and thousands of students we have helped. We use the same system for our adult members, and now through our program, can reach the individual goals using different sports modalities to help strengthen and carve a new you. We work with your family members’ personal goals and utilize our multiple programs to accomplish them. We utilize physical development programs for cases that require it. Our locations have the ability to utilize data metric machines to help recognize leaks in the mechanics of your motion causing dispersion issues.
