David Toms Academy

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

Tip of the Week

The most important part of hitting a sand shot is to use the sand and not the club head to get the ball in the air. You can practice this without a ball by trying to splash sand at your target. Make sure your divots are the same and not erratic.
