Indiana National Golf Club - Learn to Score Better

Print E-mail

Indiana National Golf Club at Swan Lake ResortIt is the Catch-22 of golf. If we only scored a little bit better, we’d be more excited about practicing more, which would lead to even better scoring. Yet most every infomercial you’ve ever watched says the “key” to a better score is a new club or a training aid when what we probably need is obvious; some time with a teaching professional who is passionate about helping us improve our score so that we can conquer that Catch-22.

But we’re afraid to break the cycle. “Golf School” sounds more like a prison sentence than an opportunity for a golf epiphany. We fear we’ll be embarrassed in a group of players who are better than we are.

The United States Golf Academy at the Indiana National Golf Club at Swan Lake Resort in Plymouth, Indiana wants to smash that stereotype. The Academy has some revolutionary thoughts, and passionate pros, who want to change the way you think of “golf schools” and get you on the road  to enjoying the game more than ever.

Is it working? Director of Golf Pat Bayley says he’s got clients who drive in from Chicago or Indianapolis (both less than two hours from this convenient getaway) weekly to take advantage of the most significant difference between The United States Golf Academy and other teaching centers, the passion of their “professors” to create a comfortable environment for you to improve your game. They do this by using your swing (not some one-style-fitsall theory), customizing a

foundation and a strategy that builds off what you’re already doing and then staying in constant contact in the weeks, months, and even years after your first visit. CD’s provided at the golf schools can be updated with every visit and the Academy staff is also happy to work with your local pro to make sure you’re hearing the same message from both.

The message that’s in the forefront of teaching at The United States Golf Academy is helping you lower your score, from the very first lesson. The quickest way to show dramatic improvement is emphasizing the short game and putting. Director of Instruction Bruce Rearick (formerly of Arnold Palmer’s Latrobe Country Club) and his fellow teachers are so convinced that they’ve hit on a putting strategy that will get you on-track that they’re rolling out a Limited Edition putter with one of the world’s top component makers, SMT Golf.

Indiana National Golf Club at Swan Lake Resort The Academy is also home to a fabulous indoor facility and two mechanical marvels rarely found outside the club manufacturers’ test sites. “PuttLab” X-rays your putting stroke from 28 different parameters, and “TrackMan” measures the trajectory on every shot from drives to short pitch shots to winnow 62,000 possible clubhead and shaft combinations to the best ONE.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that this unique golf getaway features not only customized golf instruction, from one-day to three-year (and longer) programs, but also has two fabulous courses awarded 4-Stars by Golf Digest’s Places to Play. Within the resort you’ll find log cabins, small cottages, a 92-suite main lodge, two brand-new 4-unit lodges with lake and greenside views, the Midwest’s only Sam Snead Tavern and Grill and even a new spa with relaxing, personalized treatments to get you in the frame of mind for even more golf!

A 20,000 square-foot Conference Center is perfect for larger family or group gatherings and the combination of resort amenities and The United States Golf Academy have made Swan Lake a popular corporate retreat for companies as far away as Cincinnati. The acclaimed courses were deemed challenging enough to host the 2007 and 2008 NAIA Men’s National Championships.
