What makes 3bird Golf Academy unique is that the 3bird Golf Park is an athletic learning playground, where juniors can become curious about the game and explore the art and nature of the environment. If a junior wants to learn and try the game, we have programming for them. If the junior wants to become one of the top players in the state and play in college, we have the technology and training systems to help a player reach their best physical and mental game.
Partnering with the UCO PGA Golf Lab allows the 3bird Golf Academy to move to a new level. With the only facility in Oklahoma equipped with the Gears Sports 3D Motion Capture System, along with Dr. Luczak's research and development in golf performance, any golfer will learn and train to optimize their golf swing, equipment, and mind. The level of success will be up to the individual to determine.
Pricing: 1 Lesson will not fix your game! It can temporarily correct a swing.
The cost structure is based on the individual's desired level of commitment. To try out the 3bird Golf Academy, we recommend a group camp or program. If you are looking for an individualized program, I can create one that aligns with your desired golfing goals.
