For More Information: With limited space available, applications will be accepted in the order in which they are received. After application has been processed, a detailed letter will follow with updated information about your session. Tar Heel Golf School (Boys): The Tar Heel Golf School is designed to be a fun, structured environment for young golfers of all abilities. We will maintain a very low player to instructor ratio (4 or 5: 1) to ensure a quality learning experience for all. The focus of the school will be on the total golf "package", from the long game to the short game, putting, and the all-important mental side of golf. Our curriculum will include instruction on course management techniques, drills to reinforce solid fundamentals, and we will stress the fact that golf is fun and can be enjoyed for life. Our mission is to create a dynamic, fun learning environment that will help young players to reach their full potential and give them a competitive edge in the game of golf.
Head Coach - School Director John Inman: John Inman returns to his alma mater to take over the reigns of the UNC golf program that he represented as a player from 1980-1984. As a player, he was victorious in his first start as a Tar Heel and continued his winning ways all the way to the end of his senior year. In 1984 he won the NCAA individual championship in record setting fashion by shooting 17 under par and breaking the mark set 13 years earlier by two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw (a record that was just broken in 2000). That year John was selected to the World Amateur team and received the Fred Haskins award for college player of the year. Along with teammate Davis Love, the Tar Heel teams of the early ' 80 ' s were very successful, winning 3 out of 4 ACC team titles ('81, '83, '84) while John took the individual title in 1982. Following in his brother Joe's footsteps, Coach Inman qualified for the PGA tour in 1987 and ended his ten-year career with two victories to his credit. Now in his 10th season as the Tar Heel Head Coach, John Inman is doing something he really loves. "I am very excited to be back in Chapel Hill working with the great young players who attend the University of North Carolina." In his brief tenure, Inman has coached seven All-Americas named to the team on 14 occasions and his Tar Heels have already captured 13 team titles and 13 individual titles. They finished ninth at the NCAA Championship in 2003 and 10th in 1999 and 2000. He led the Tar Heels to the ACC Championship in 2006, Carolina's 11th ACC championship and its first since 1996. Inman became the first person to win the ACC title as a player and a coach - he won the ACC Individual Championship as a player in 1982. The Tar Heel Golf School is a product of his love of the game, and his desire to share his knowledge with the young players of tomorrow. Notable Quotables:
"As a longtime friend and former teammate of coach Inman'
s I feel that the Tar Heel golf school will be one of the most comprehensive in the country."
"A tough competitor with a great mind and exceptional knowledge of the game. There is no
better man or coach I would rather have my son learn from or play for."
"With his skill and incredible love for the game, John can give young players confidence in their
golfing abilities and help them achieve a greater degree of self motivation."
"The one on one attention we got with the instructors was the best thing about this camp..."
"The short game instruction really helped. Before, we never thought about playing some of the shots we learned, and today (at the school tournament) it made a big difference."
"If you guys will let me come back, I definitely want to be here next summer." Special Guests: World reknowned sports psychologist Dr. Richard Coop will give insight into the very important mental side of golf. Dr. Coop has worked with some of the top players in professional golf and will share some of his successful stategies for becoming a better golfer.
