Learn
Come to a CGC Camp to LEARN.
There is a world of opportunity and exposure that is offered at each of our camps.
You will learn about the different coaches representing each of their Universities. You will learn how to improve your game based on watching other players. You will learn how to improve your skills based on the feedback you receive.
There is so much information in the Lecture Component Series. Where else do you have the opportunity to listen and talk to so many active College Coaches? A CGC Camp is the ideal environment for participants and parents to learn all about College Golf and what it will take for each player to potentially elevate their game to the next level.
Compete
COMPETITION is what makes you a better player.
In an ideal world you are always on your best game and posting the lowest numbers possible. The reality is that is not always the case.
You become a great player when you don’t have your best game present, but you are still able to COMPETE and manage to scrap together a solid round. That is when you know you are improving and that your game is on the right track.
CGC provides the opportunity for each participant to COMPETE in front of an array of College Coaches and receive valuable input.
COMPETITION is ultimately where all of the prep work and hours you spend honing your skills shows up.
Interact
CGC provides the ultimate experience when it comes to INTERACTING with active College Coaches.
Each participant has the change to not only play in front of an impressive list of Coaches and Universities, but INTERACT with them after the competition on a more personal level at several of the sessions that are designed for one on one time with the Coaches.
The INTERACTION between the participants and Coaches is part of the unique value that CGC delivers… an exciting opportunity for all!
Good luck, play great and fairways and greens,
Kelli

Coach Chris Malloy worked College Golf Camps – Orlando in 2013. Coach Malloy will be attending College Golf Camps – Hilton in July and College Golf Camps – Orlando in August.
Mississippi alum Chris Malloy has been named the mens head golf coach of the Rebels on Monday.
“I am extremely excited to return to my alma mater (2001) as the head coach of this program, Malloy said. Anyone that has ever been to Oxford knows how special of a place it truly is. There is no other college town like it in the country. Anyone that knows me can also attest to my passion for Ole Miss athletics as well. This is an opportunity of a lifetime for me and my family and I am extremely excited to get back home and win a national championship as a Rebel.”
Malloy heads to Ole Miss after stints at South Florida (head coach, 2010-14) and Florida State (assistant coach, 2006-2010).
At South Florida, he led the Bulls to their first Big East Conference title in 2013 while being named the Big East Coach of the Year. Chase Koepka was named Big East Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year under Malloy.
In 2014, South Florida joined the American Athletic Conference and finished fourth in the conference championship. The Bulls finished 10th at the NCAA San Antonio Regional. Malloy and South Florida finished 33rd in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings.
“It is extremely difficult to walk away from a group of guys that I consider my family, Malloy said of leaving South Florida. We have had a great run over the last couple of years and this is a very special group. I look forward to watching them continue to rewrite the record books for many years to come. I want to also thank USF for giving me my first opportunity as a head coach. This is a first class organization.
During his playing days at Mississippi, Malloy led the Rebels to a 24th-place finish at the NCAA Championship 1999 and an 11th-place finish at the NCAA East Regional in 2000 as a two-year letter winner and team captain.

THINQ Golf is committed to improving a golfer’s performance by accelerating the development of the mental game through scientifically based brain games and education.
Golf trips are fun.
Flying with your clubs isn’t.
Between getting to the airport, boarding your flight and making sure you didn’t forget anything, you’ve got enough on your mind. Why add to that by worrying about your golf clubs?
With ShipSticks, you don’t have to worry about anything except safely getting to your destination. All you have to do is schedule your pickup, fill out a shipping form and leave the rest to us. We’ll make your travel experience better by providing you with a number of benefits that you simply can’t get by flying with your clubs, including:
Can you picture a worse scenario than getting off your plane, going to the baggage claim and not seeing your golf bag come around on the conveyor? An estimated 26 million baggage items are lost by airlines every year and if you’re on a golf trip, lost clubs are an absolute nightmare.
With ShipSticks you don’t have to worry about your clubs getting lost by the airline. We pick them up and we ship them out. After you’re clubs leave the house, you don’t even have to think about them again until they’re at the front desk of your hotel.
Golf clubs aren’t fragile but they’re certainly not made to be tossed around. Your driver and fairway woods in particular, are highly susceptible to dings and dents caused by rough handling. A hardcase for your clubs can add some protection but it doesn’t guarantee anything. Most airlines assure you that baggage handlers are taking good care of your clubs but when they’re trying to get a plane fully loaded in 15 minutes, that doesn’t leave a lot of time to pack things in nicely.
In addition, most airlines won’t even cover your equipment in the event that it gets damaged. ShipSticks offers $1,000 of baseline insurance and even allows you to insure up to $3,500 if you want. Thousands of people every year hand their clubs off at the baggage desk in perfect condition only to find them dinged up when they arrive at their destination. Don’t be one of those people. Ship your clubs with ShipSticks.
Airline tickets are expensive enough. The last thing you need is to have to fork over an extra $120 dollars to carry your clubs with you. Sure, shipping your clubs costs money too but unlike an airline we don’t require you to lug them with you everywhere you go. In fact, you can get your clubs from New York to LA for just $59.99, and with $200 consequential insurance for delayed shipments, you can be sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

5 Questions and Answers about College Golf Camps of America.
1. Are all these colleges going to be there? I mean really? Yes, REALLY, the NCAA guidelines allow for coaches to work camps. So, we have contracted over 18 major college coaches within the NCAA guidelines…no different than coaches running their own camps, CGC is the buffet of College Golf Coaches at one camp….make sense?
2. Does the junior golfer receive evaluations from the camps? Yes, Yes, Yes…..that’s 3 yes’s, each player who attends our events receives no less than 3 written evaluations from college golf coaches who attend our events. Exceptional feedback from the CGC staff, use the evaluations to understand where you are compared to current college golfers!!
3. How will the coaches see me play? Great question, coaches in attendance will be roaming the camp all day, from the range to the golf course. We will assign each coach a cart and 3-4 holes to per day. Those coaches will watch players come through their assigned holes each day. They will be assigned 3-4 holes on the first day and then 3-4 different holes the next. Having over 18 coaches in attendance, every hole will have an overlap of coaches…..hence forcing them to watch players come through so they can coach, evaluate, instruct, etc…..pretty cool huh?
4. Do my parents need to attend? Absolutely, it is the opinion of the CGC that the parents could get as much or more information from the camp as their son or daughter. Parents can do everything but play. They can rent a cart and follow their son/daughter. They need to attend the clinics. They will be full of big-time information from college coaches. These clinics are geared to educate the players and the parents!!
5. Is my handicap too high? I’m I good enough? This is a great question, but you and your parents are the only ones to answer it. We are open to all players of all skill-sets. This camp is geared for players who want to play college golf, period. Who are we to label a player and say they good enough? Don’t ever allow someone to label you. We believe in the process to gain results. Ultimately we can only control our attitude and our effort!! So don’t allow anyone to label who you are or who you will become!!
