More About The Academy
NXT LEVEL GOLF has a rich history of developing competitive golfers - from top junior and college players to professionals
The Virtual Level Up Academy is a structured, virtual monthly development experience for high school and college golfers looking to take their game to the next level
The academy helps players to shoot lower scores by allowing them to develop each of the 5 Scoring Mindset Skills:
Monthly Practice Planning
Post Round & Tournament Reflection
Mental Performance Training
Practice Round Strategies
Stat Tracking and Analysis
The mission of the academy is to coach and assist in the development of talented players who have a desire to lower their scores
We help players develop their skills to reach their goals through hands on development of the 5 Scoring Mindset Skills,
which are required for a competitive player to consistently score their best
When a player commits to upgrading their mental performance, plans out their weekly practice, uses each practice round to learn and adjust their game to the course, records & analyzes statistics, and takes time to reflect on their rounds alongside their coach,
a player can consistently improve their weaknesses and better understand their strengths in turn helping them lower their scoring average
It is a proven fact that all golfers benefit from having a performance coach assist them in developing the 5 Scoring Mindset Skills that go along with them also improving their swing skillsets (Putting, Short-game, Wedge Play, Iron Play, Driving)
The academy includes up to 3 hours of virtual coaching with Coach Bowden throughout the month
