September 10, 2014 – With the start of the school term, the Junior Golf Academy (AGM) of Sant Cugat Golf Club is back, loaded this 2014-2015 season with incentives for children who want to have fun learning golf.

The JGA by Sant Cugat has prepared three new programs covering pupils of all categories (pre-benjamín, benjamín, alevín, infantil, cadete, boy/girl and junior) and any level of play. This is a fun extracurricular activity open to children (members and non members), with the principal purpose of enjoying golf.

The FUNGOLF Program is ideal for learning by acquiring and laying the foundations of golf through varied and fun games and exercises, each with a specific purpose. The PERFORMANCE Program is designed for aspiring golfers who have competed or intend to start playing tournaments. And the ELITE Program includes a comprehensive training plan focused on juniors already competing in local, national and international events. In recent years several young players have emerged from the academy such as the siblings Manel and Patricia Bardají, Enrico and Nina Rissi, as well as Maria Blasco and Paula Solà.

Courses start in mid-September and include equipment, golf balls, fitness training and technical and physical reports for kids, while there are sports psychology programmes, analysis and sessions in 2D, Golf BioDynamics, club fitting and FlightScope, the most advanced technology for golf training at present, aimed at elite players.

On Saturday 20th of September at 8pm the courses will be presented to parents at Sant Cugat Golf Club.

The JGA by Sant Cugat is directed by the golf coach Carlos Vivas, with a renewed team of golf instructors including Jesus Chaves and Pepe Jimenez, and technical areas headed by Berta Folch (psychology), Cari Hernandez (fitness) and Ines Tusquets (nutrition), and assessment by Dr. Robert Neal (Golf BioDynamics) and Antonio Corgos (national athletics coach).
