Why every junior golfer should complete a TrackMan Combine!!

TrackMan Combine is a standardized test, enabling golfers to identify strengths and weaknesses – as well as compare their performance to other peer groups.

The TrackMan Combine consists of 60 shots, each of which is scored on a scale of 0-100.

When the test is completed, every junior golfer receives:
✓ A TrackMan Combine score for every yardage
✓ An aggregate TrackMan Combine score
✓ A percentile ranking for each yardage – based on the selected peer group
✓ The average distance from pin at every yardage
✓ The average driver distance and accuracy

The TrackMan Combine database consists of thousands of scores. The range of participants stretches from Major Championship winners to 25 handicappers and everywhere in between. With TrackMan Combine’s worldwide acceptance and web-based services, the database will continue to grow at a very rapid pace.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
✓ Each yardage is scored to identify strengths and weaknesses.
✓ Time efficient: Around 35 minutes with immediate feedback.
✓ Compare yourself to peer groups & internationally ranked players.
✓ Results are hosted online on your TrackMan account at MyTrackMan.com

What Nick Faldo has to say after completing a TrackMan Combine.

“This is great! The TrackMan Combine clearly identifies a player’s strength and weaknesses. It is great for a player to be able to find out their best layup yardage or see if there may be some gapping issues with their set. At the same time it is both challenging and fun and creates a unique practice experience.”

Upon receiving his aggregate TrackMan Combine score of 83 Nick replied, “I can do better than that. It really creates a little pressure as you go along and that is fantastic. I’ll have to work on some of these yardages and then take it again. I’m sure I can beat that score. I recommend all serious golfers take the TrackMan Combine on a regular basis.”

The TrackMan Combine comprises 60 shots. You hit 6 shots to 9 different targets, ranging from 60 to 180 yards – as well as 6 drives. Once a TrackMan Combine session is completed, the results are uploaded to mytrackman.com where it can be reviewed at any later point in time.

1. Hit 6 shots to the following: 60 yards, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, Driver
2. Check your results in reference to peer groups
3. Login to MyTrackMan.com to review your results anytime

TrackMan Combine results have shown a clear correlation between handicap and TrackMan Combine Score. The highest male score (Luke Donald, 87) and highest female score (Sun Young Yoo, 89) to date were both recorded within two weeks of that player winning a professional golf tournament. TrackMan Combine allows you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Once you know where your game needs work, you can focus your practice sessions on these areas. Then come back and take the Trackman Combine again. As your TrackMan Combine score goes up, your handicap is sure to go down.

College Golf Camps of America (CGC) and TrackMan have partnered to provide Junior Golfers with shot analysis at select College Golf Camps venues.

– CGC – New Jersey, July 6th-8th, 2015 at Crystal Springs Resort

– CGC – Dallas, July 26th-28th, 2015 at Four Season TPC Las Colinas

Dallas, Texas, February 4th, 2015 – College Golf Camps of America and TrackMan, the industry standard for Swing and Ball Flight Analysis Technology and Knowledge, is pleased to announce a new opportunity for Junior Golf development.

“We look forward to working with College Golf Camps again this Summer. The TrackMan Combine provides camp participants with a great opportunity to find out their strengths and weaknesses as well as compare their results to other collegiate and professional golfers. In addition, the skills assessment will provide all of the participants with detailed swing and ball flight data. This is the same information collected by the top coaches and players around the world.” – Justin Padjen, TrackMan

“This is exciting for Junior Golf. The value that every junior golf camper will receive from the TrackMan experience will be exceptional. Swing video for junior golfers has value, but can be difficult to assess skill and areas needed for improvement. Having our CGC – Skills Assessment and the optional TrackMan combine will add another layer of development for all of our junior golf campers ” – Nick Rook, College Golf Camps, President

In addition to enhancing the overall experience for the Junior Golfers at College Golf Camps of America, TrackMan Combine and CGC Skills Assessment will include:

– Optional Trackman Combine for Junior Golf Campers, 60 shot test

– Each Junior Golfer will have a CGC – skills assessment of 15 shots

– Overall shot analysis from TrackMan experts

– Full report from Trackman

– Continued education on shot analysis

– Video analysis from TrackMan

– Follow up opportunities with MyTrackMan Performance

Thinq Golf – Game Your Brain

1. About 30 min to 1 hour of stretching and light aerobics to get the blood flowing and to prevent injury.
2. A brief stop at the putting green for a few min to see if the superintendent is up to anything funny with green speed that day.
3. 45 min or so on the driving range to run through the bag and dial in some specialty shots needed for the day and to get the body fully up to swing speed.
4. A few pitches and chips around the practice green and from the practice bunkers to get greenside feel honed in nice and sharp.
5. Lastly, about 20 min on the putting green because ‘drive for show and putt for dough’ has been proven to be more reliable than tomorrow’s sunrise.

But there is something that is being left out of the conversation that pros are doing that isn’t getting transferred to the amateurs. All of the steps are taken to get the body ready to play, but what about warming up the mind? Doing everything described above without spending time to warm up the mind is like letting your car warm up in the cold weather for a few min, but then putting a driver in front of the wheel who’s still asleep. Well, it turns out that pros are warming up their brains, but like a lot of important news, it’s not making the front page. We’re finding that professional golfers take a plethora of steps to get the oxygen flowing northward to their minds and it’s more than just a second cup of coffee. Pros are doing things like playing crossword puzzles, playing Sudoku, meditating, reading and much more. We can do better than that can’t we? Crosswords and Sudoku are fun-ish, but they’re not very golf specific. Much in the same way we used to not know a lot about how to have golfers properly work out their bodies, we are now breaking through on what players can do to improve their golfing minds. But most importantly we want golfers to be able to do these activities on the course and practice tee.

This is one of the reasons THINQ Golf’s games are available on both iPhone and android devices. We wanted you to be able to take a couple minutes before the round, whether it be in the locker room, on the range, or sitting in the cart waiting for the group to clear the first tee, and bring your mind into the state that has been proven to be the same state that the best players in the world are getting to when they play their best.

Picture it…you’ve got 10 min to your tee time. You could head to the putting green to try and iron out every last kink you may have that day. (we all know that the practice green before a round is no place to do this) Or you simply pull out your phone, play a couple games and know that you are putting yourself into the zone.

Who knew that warming up your mind could be such a no brainer? – See more at: http://thinqgolf.com/10-more-minutes-to-a-world-class-warm-up/

Check out Thinq Golf Blog post – “Nothing quite like tournament golf pressure”

We always hear about how much pressure is involved in tournament golf. We see the casualties of that pressure every time we watch a tour event. The best players in the world never miss a shot on the driving range but somehow cannot buy a good shot when tournament time comes around. How can this be? Unless you are in that situation, you really cannot grasp what that feeling is like. Maybe you look into your past experiences in another sport to get an idea, but in the end there is nothing comparable to the pressure of a golf tournament. – See more at: http://thinqgolf.com/nothing-quite-like-tournament-golf-pressure/#sthash.xjQYNPhM.dpuf
