Meet Coach Chanda! ⛳

For Coach Chanda, the best part of coaching is watching the athletes discover what they are capable of accomplishing. Nothing beats the smiles, high-fives, and sense of pride that come when a player reaches a personal goal.

She notes, the growth this season has been remarkable across the board. Beyond sharpening their golf skills, the athletes have become more confident, focused, and independent. Their swings are more consistent, their understanding of the game has grown, and their sportsmanship shines as they encourage one another on the course.

In terms of practice, she says each starts with stretching to get ready, followed by skill stations covering putting, chipping, and full swings. Whenever possible, practice wraps up with fun games and on-course activities to apply those new skills!

Drop a 👏 in the comments to thank Coach Chanda for her incredible leadership and support on the course!
