Coach Mayer and his staff promise to deliver a rewarding experience to beginners and advanced golfers alike. Each day of camp consists of work in four primary areas: full swing, partial swing, short-game (pitching, chipping, and bunker play) and putting. Daily activities also include playing the IU championship and executive courses. Other activities include: video swing analysis, course management strategy, rules and etiquette seminars and NCAA recruiting/scholarship seminars. The camps conclude with a golf tournament followed by an awards ceremony.
