DG MASTERY
DG Mastery answers the question "How good can I get? "

“ DiscoverGolf’s Mastery Program is one of my favorite programs. As I tell our Mastery students, golf is the easy part; it's learning the master’s tendencies that matter most. What does that mean? Can you snap into focus when it’s called upon you? Can you have the courage to not care what others think about you when you’re trying to get better? Can you forge your own style, your own sense of self-reliance? Our Mastery program is different than most. We don’t pin up our college scholarships … we simply invite kids 12 or over to use golf as a medium for self-mastery, and are looking to answer the question “How good can I get? ””
