Practice Facility
• Practice facility dedication photo gallerySure to be the envy of its collegiate counterparts, Georgia's state-of-the-art practice area was officially dedicated in early October 1997. One of many initiatives that Chris Haack outlined upon his hiring in July of 1996 was this prolific practice complex, which was already at the Dogs' disposal some 15 months later. Thanks to the generous efforts of lettermen such as Jimmy Gabrielsen (1961-63), David Boyd (1961-63) and Danny Yates (1969-72), as well as other benefactors, the University of Georgia Golf Course range was significantly modified to make this longtime dream a reality.
Measuring 300 yards by 100 yards, Phase I of the $1.2 million top-notch teaching center features eight target greens, three putting greens with bunkers, plus numerous chipping and short game areas. Phase II includes an indoor hitting area in a building with locker rooms, club storage, club repair, meeting rooms and office space.
"Getting the first part of the range done has been a huge lift for the team," Haack said. "Whether or not it is actually helping the players with their games, the fact that they feel good about getting a quality practice and hitting to so many target greens builds more confidence for them. Now they can see and know if they're hitting it well or not."
"Even though we have already accomplished some significant goals, there are many more to tackle over the next two or three years to really distinguish ourselves as one of the nation's top programs."
