WORLD FIRST IN GOLF EDUCATION

Hills Educational Foundation has established a unique golf education opportunity for young golfers. The concept of providing a championship golf course, state of the art golf coaching training program and academic program is quite unique.

The 7551 yard championship golf course (the longest in Australia) is designed specifically to provide the challenges required for young golfers to develop their talent and become future champions.

The 8000 square meters of high quality turf practice tees and 4.5 hectares of driving range area create the ideal training facility and provide a perfect opportunity for young golfers to develop professional level skills. The 1500m2 purpose designed short game training facilities incorporate the challenges golfers will have to face during their career including a multitude of special grasses, bunkers, slopes and lies.

The high tech golf program has been developed here in Queensland and is a world leader in this sophisticated golf education program.

The program provides a comprehensive golf training package, in tandem with a respected secondary school academic education. Striking the right balance between the golf and academic components of the program is vital. The range of program options is designed to meet the wide variety of student needs.

The world’s best golfers combine extensive technical, physical and psychological skills to master the game.

Hills International Golf Program takes a holistic approach to golf education, combining extensive physical and psychological training, biomechanics and technical development. The program aims to maximize the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of students by closely monitoring and carefully refining their development.

As well as self improvement and enjoyment from golf, many of the students have been busy making a name for themselves in golf circles not only in their own districts but also on a state, national and international level.

Bill and Tom owned three driving ranges and golf schools in Tennessee and Mississippi. Tom was awarded Coach of The Year in 1995 for the Southern USA Region and has an extensive network of contacts in the lucrative USA golf market. Tom was the coach of the IPCA ladies golf team who competed annually at the NCAA Division 1 tournament in Arizona. His team won the tournament twice and was runner up once in a five year period from 2000 to 2004. The only all Japanese team to have achieved this feat in the history of the NCAA.

Tom has been instrumental in creating and organising the Hills Asian Junior Tour. Beginning in 2011 with just one tournament played in Taiwan, three in 2012 (Taiwan, Korea, & China), and six tournaments in 2013 Taiwan, Korea, China, Thailand, Japan & Australia, this tour has quickly become well respected amongst junior golfers within the Asia Pacific region with two of those tournaments already gaining World Ranking Status issued by the R & A.

Tom has presented workshop and coaching seminars in Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand. As with the USA, Tom’s knowledge and extensive network in Asia is extremely valuable for our students.

Physical Assessment

PHYSIOTHERAPIST Mr Andrew Grigg

Physical training clinics feature well known and respected Brisbane physiotherapist Andrew Grigg who has worked extensively with many elite golfers. Players such as Rachel Hetherington, Michael Wright, Terry Price and Nicolas Colsaerts to name a few use Andrew's services. Andrew has been working closely with A*Game over the past 13 years and is always at the cutting edge of new procedures and technology to help the players physically. Ranges of physical training programmes have been developed in conjunction with A-Game coaching staff. These feature physical screening and profiling. This procedure focuses on identifying any need for improvement in strength, flexibility, co-ordination or balancing of muscles that have a direct effect on the student's ability to swing properly. Many problems originally determined as technical, in fact, have a physical component and must be resolved before technical adjustment is even a possibility. Once any problems have been ascertained, students will be taken through a general fitness and a specific remedial treatment programme.

- Initial physical assessment

- Exercise programs tailored to each student

- Remedial treatment if required (at student’s expense)

- Monitoring, re-testing etc.

- Gym training facilities with coordinated fitness and golf specific training program
