Warner Pacific Athletics Expands Presence in Oregon Golf Community
PORTLAND, Ore. – Warner Pacific Athletics is pleased to announce a clinic for Oregon high school golf coaches titled “The Successful High School Coach – Techniques for Developing a Winning Program.”
The event will be presented in partnership with the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association and hosted at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis, Oregon. Also endorsing the event are the Oregon Golf Association, the Golf Coaches Association of America, the PGA western section, and Oregon State University.
Directing the clinic will be Warner Pacific Head Golf Coach James E. Robertson. With over 20 years of experience, Robertson has coached at every level of college golf including NCAA Div. I, on the PGA and LPGA Tours, and has also coached international club players.
“I am so pleased that all these groups have come together to make this clinic happen,” says Robertson. “For Warner Pacific to assemble this kind of support from the golf community is a real blessing and we have a first class clinic for our backers and the coaches who attend. It has also raised the profile of Warner Pacific College.”
In his time as the Knights’ head coach, Robertson observed a lack of resources for high school level golf coaches and started to think of ways to help. “This clinic meets a real need in the high school coaching ranks,” says Robertson. “Many golf coaches in high school are doing it as a secondary part of their job and are not equipped to build good programs or develop young golfers. They really want to, but might not know where to start. This clinic will give them the tools they need to become better coaches and start helping their players develop good habits on the golf course.”
The event is Monday, February 15, 2010 (President’s Day) from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Cost is $35 by pre-registration, or $40 at the door.
