Golf Channel Academy, a dedicated network of teaching facilities and world-class coaches, and US Sports Camps have a shared interest in developing junior golfers and creating long-lasting improvement through quality instruction. USSC, headquartered in San Rafael, Calif., has offered summer camps since 1975 and is the licensed operator of Nike Sports Camps.
“We’re very excited to be working with U.S. Sports Camps, a company with a longstanding track record of excellence in running junior camps,” said Scott Novell, president of Golf Channel Academy. “They will serve as a great, added benefit for our students, and further enhances Golf Channel Academy’s reputation as the place to go for quality instruction and education.”
