It’s that time of year when many of our players are beginning to pack their bags and head off for some warm weather training. Anders L, Emil O, Emil W and Alex R have all been or are in warmer places, Therese L and Louise K landed yesterday in Spain, and Jose and Sofia are heading off to Sotogrando next weekend.
On top of that most of the 3rd year students have been back to their roots, where they as part of their coursework have been giving lectures to their home clubs, new clubs and old schools. Feedback, both from our students and those they have spoken in front has been really good. Well done 09 =)
About School of Golf
At Scandinavian School of Golf, we make it possible for Europe's best golfing talent to combine professional sports with academic studies at Halmstad University.
Scandinavian School of Golf is an independent complement to the university degree Professional sports targeting golf 120 hp. Scandinavian School of Golf is a privately funded initiative that provides students in the program great opportunities to develop as golfers while studying sports science at Halmstad University. This opportunity is unique in Europe.
The concept started in autumn of 2008. The motivation being that there was no equivalent education available in Sweden. The alternative was to travel to the U.S. for education and training. However, this is a concept that has proven to fit only very few players since the training culture in the United States differ quite a bit from the Swedish. Halmstad University is known for its comprehensive curriculum and is also located in one of Sweden's main golf regions, providing the right conditions for a unique program such as School of Golf.
Being a golfer today is tough and full of demanding trials. Increased knowledge and insight about the various elements of the game significantly increase the chances of success. In addition, a university degree provides better prospects in life after a golfing career is over. A sense of security to fall back on!
