thoughts from Colorado Golf Coach – Anne Kelly

“College Golf Camps of America is a very unique concept. I believe participants will gain valuable knowledge about how to play golf, as opposed to just learning

the golf swing technique. Students will be better prepared to make the transition from junior golf to the college golf level.” – Anne Kelly, University of Colorado Golf Coach
