Developing Brazil's first world-class golf academy was an absolute honor. Starting with an existing driving range that was lit for night use required a redesign to match the owners' vision and support for the facility. Creating appropriate target greens from the various angles that were available from the coaching studios to the curved tee-line was essential to develop players of all abilities. Establishing a large training putting green that provided the ability to hit straight putts as well as downhill, uphill and sidehill breaks allowed instruction to start from the shortest stroke in the game.

The state-of-the-art coaching studios featured high-speed video integrated with a balance/pressure mat, a FlightScope launch monitor, studio lighting and multiple video monitors. Rounding out the facility was an entertaining Putt-Putt Course for student, parents, and the homeowners in the surrounding residential community.
