This is the latest project that we are working on.
As we begin the early stages of development of the David Toms Golf Academy, we would like to express the basic idea of what we want to achieve. Much like the First Tee programs that have developed throughout the country, the DT Golf Academy would provide underprivileged youth in the Shreveport/Bossier area the opportunity to learn the game of golf and its many values. The DT Golf Academy will use golf to promote character development in the youth of our community.
Basic Goals:
Provide a teaching center for underprivileged children in order to introduce the game of golf to those who otherwise may not have that opportunity, making golf accessible and affordable to all youth.
Teach the proper etiquette, rules, history, and traditions of the game of golf to our youth.
Through golf, we can teach important values such as honesty, integrity, and sportsmanship.
Partner with area schools, the Lighthouse, and other organizations to provide additional after school programs that would include
David’s Tip of the Week
When trying to hit the ball on a downhill lie, you should try and get your shoulders as parallel to the slope as possible. The ball should be in the back of your stance, and your uphill knee should stay flexed. Take a ¾ backswing and keep your hands ahead of the clubhead through impact.
