2013-14 CHATTANOOGA GOLF GUIDE PLAYER DEVELOPMENT COMPLEX The Player Development Complex affords Chattanooga Mocs golfers an elite practice area. It is a comprehensive facility to develop and continuously improve their games throughout their collegiate careers. There is a full range allowing for comprehensive practice, utilizing every club in the bag. There are numerous greens allowing a distance control mechanism as well as guidance poles to increase accuracy. Five close-range greens allow for a phenomenal wedge-game practice experience. New hitting mats were installed in 2013 as well as a Covershot to allow for practice rain or shine. There are two full-size greens available to the Mocs. With more than 16,000 square feet of space, drills and stations can be set up to maximize practice time and grow the game. Bunker areas around the practice greens offer superb practice opportunities. The complete pitching and chipping area covers all aspects of short-game preparation. It is an imaginative area where creativity can be applied to shots chosen and practiced. Fairway bunker work is available to allow the student-athlete the ability to work on every possible shot they may encounter. The facility also includes three practice holes (2 Par 3s, 1 Par 4) with various tees and yardages. Depending on utilization of tees, the holes can play as nine separate holes including a par 5 (560 yards). These holes build course management shot selection skills, while applying aspects from the various practice areas to the golf course.
