PERFORMANCE TEAM

The "SAWMILL PERFORMANCE TEAM" is a season long program that will teach advanced golf skills and prepare juniors for tournament play.  If you're a dedicated and committed player ready to take your game to the next level and play in competitive events, this is the place for you.  All players will have weekly coaching and practice sessions with PGA of Canada professionals, Brody Whetham and Kevin Niznik.  These group sessions will place an emphasis on skill development through various drills that are tailored to individual abilities.  

Players are expected to post scores from qualifying rounds on Mondays so that their progress can be tracked.  We also encourage all team members to participate in our Junior League to experience friendly competition and develop course management skills.  The team settting is fun and provides an opportunity to mentor younger players.   

The Performance Team will be selected from players, age 9 and over, that are ready to compete in local events and have participated in Sawmill's PLAY GOLF program.  The players must be committed to attending all practice sessions, competing in five or more tournaments, and playing in the Monday qualifier and the Junior League.
