Encouraging players to gain competitive experience outside the high school season. Why is winter instruction so important? One of the biggest challenges in golf development is taking several months away from swinging a club and then trying to regain everything once spring arrives. Our Winter Series is designed to prevent that. By continuing to swing, practice, and receive instruction throughout the winter, our players can maintain their skills, improve their mechanics, and develop a better understanding of their individual golf games. Instead of starting from scratch in the spring, we want our players to hit the ground running! Just as importantly, these eight weeks give our girls an opportunity to spend time together, compete, support one another, and continue building the team culture we want at Roger Bacon. Our objective isn't simply to become better individual golfers. It's to continue developing a stronger, more competitive Roger Bacon Girls Golf program. Our Goal for 2027 Develop better golfers. Build stronger teammates. Prepare for a more competitive high school season. Whether a player is new to competitive golf or already competing at the varsity level, the Winter Series will provide individualized instruction and opportunities for improvement. Every player has a different golf swing, different strengths, and different areas that need improvement. Our job is to help each girl understand her game and continue moving forward. Eight weeks. One team. One goal. Get better together. Ben Chandler, PGA ben@markmacdonaldgolf.com
