Free golf clinic for coaches and their players
Contributed by: Susan Cormier on 7/12/2006

Two Douglas County golfers are donating their time to share their expertise with the area's up and coming young golfers.

High school and college golf coaches from across the Denver metro area and Colorado Springs have been invited to bring their top players to the July 25 clinic, put on by Dr. Bill Campbell, a sports psychologist, and Tim Kilduff, a certified personal trainer.

The clinic is unique in that it focuses on the mental and physical aspects of the game.

Developed by Campbell and Kilduff, the founders of The Golf Link, the clinic will show young players how to overcome mental frustrations of the game. They also will learn some simple exercises to become more flexible, so they can achieve better extension and rotation on their swings.

"Up until now, the mental game has been philosophical and conceptual," Campbell said. "Our program is about simple procedures that help young golfers focus and relax, especially under the competitive gun."

Using Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam as examples, Kilduff said physical training has become a necessity for top players.

While The Golf Link offers clinics throughout the season for weekend golfers, Campbell and Kilduff said they wanted to donate their time and offer this free clinic for the high school and college golfers and their coaches.

"If we can make an impact on them at this stage of their lives, they will avoid many of the frustrations experienced by so many golfers - professionals and weekend duffers alike. That in itself is a reward for us," Campbell said.

The clinic will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 25, at Spring Valley Golf Club in Elizabeth. Spring Valley's Director of Golf Scott Lane, PGA, and members of his staff will join Campbell and Kilduff at the clinic. RSVPs are required by July 20. To RSVP, call The Golf Link at 303-840-0212 or Spring Valley Golf Club at 303-646-4240.
