Gary Gilchrist started his professional golf career at the IMG golf Academy with David Leadbetter, being golf instructor for 15 years. Thanks to his passion for teaching this sport to young players and to his conviction that best results come through the integration of academic and sports education, decided to launch his own academy in January 2008. In less than one year, the GGGA students have achieved top positions in several junior American Championships, both in male and female categories. Throughout his career, Gary Gilchrist has taught golf to a great number of players on their junior stage, and some of them are now acclaimed professional players: Michelle Wie, Paula Creamer, Peter Hedblom, Suzan Pettersen, Sean O’Hair among many others.
ORLANDO TENNIS
This year we also offer to replace golf by an intensive tennis course, combined with the English language learning. It will take place at Sense Tennis Academy, school conducted by the well known Belgian tennis player Justin Henin, located within the Mission Inn Resort facilities.
OTHERS
During the evenings/nights and on the weekends there will be organised extra activities together with American and foreign students: swimming pool, cycling, tennis, equestrian, water sports, shopping and two excursions to Disneyland and Universal Studios.
