COYLE FAMILY SHORT-GAME PAVILION

Facing the 13th fairway of Osprey Valley’s North Course, the Indoor Short Game Pavilion will be the signature feature of the new building. This unique indoor yearround facility will allow for practicing approach shots of up to 40 yards and will also have putting greens, sand bunkers and chipping areas with video and computer assisted technologies to support both players and for coaching development.

At the hitting bays, the combination of kinematic swing analysis, slow motion cameras, golf specific simulators, videoconferencing capabilities and more will be available. Junior and Next Gen players will be able to work remotely with coaches and access expertise in several key areas of the game. Training camps at the Pavilion will connect players with Team Canada staff and coaches anywhere.

Shared with First Tee-Canada programs, the Indoor Pavilion will also serve as the talent identification layer of Team Canada’s player development system.

Elite early-stage juniors, their personal coaches and parents will be able to meet with national coaches to hone their technique and receive biomechanical feedback, using the latest computer technology.

The Indoor Pavilion will also provide early-stage juniors, their families and their resident coaches with access to the top coaches in Canadian golf. This new facility will augment training resources already in operation at Bar Mountain in Victoria, BC, The Legacy Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona and planned facilities for Quebec and Florida.

Identifying talented juniors will expand playing opportunities for them, across North America. Programs facilitated at the Pavilion will combine the grassroots outreach of First Tee, the assets of Team Canada, the coaching expertise of the PGA of Canada and playing opportunities through Golf Canada, Golf Ontario, LGPA and PGA Tour Canada events.
