GAVC

Basic Class ACADEMY CHALLENGE
Once per month, during regularly scheduled class time, the entire hour class will be dedicated to what we call an Academy Challenge. This type of class is the main component to moving up in rank in our program. During the class, each participant will attempt to score as well as possible in these areas: Putting, Chipping, Approach Shots, and Driving. Blue and Black Level participants will also be tested in Bunker play and lob shots. If the participant scores well enough – see Academy Challenge Scoring Requirements – then they will have completed the main requirement to move up in rank, and at every other level, into a more advanced class.

APP Academy Challenges
Every other month, a special APP Academy Skills challenge is offered where participants will be tested on their advanced golf skills. This type of class is the main component to moving up in rank in the APP. During the event, each participant will attempt to score as well as possible in these areas: Advanced Putting, Advanced Chipping & Pitching, Ball Striking Accuracy, Trajectory & Curve Control, and Bunker Play. Each separate event is also an opportunity to win prizes. If the participant scores well enough – see APP Academy Challenge Scoring Requirements below – then they will have completed one of the components requirement to move up in rank. Before students can fully move up a level, however, they must also meet scoring requirements during approved local tournaments (US Kids/GAVC/VCJGA/SCPGA) or during APP Golf Team Prep On-Course Player Development Events. (See APP Levels of Achievement Above) Upon completion all the requirements of each level, participants are rewarded with a special GAVC pin commemorating their new level of achievement and they are posted on our APP photo board at Rustic Canyon GC and on our Facebook Page.
