Social Buttons      Drum roll please....ANNOUNCING NEW SNAG PRODUCTS!!!December 30th, 2010 8:35am - Posted By: Tiffanie
Staying in line with the core belief that people of all ages need tools to learn the basics of golf that allow them to learn and play anywhere, SNAG Golf will be debuting TWO new products at the PGA Show in Orlando January 26-29, 2011: the Visual Tracking System (VTS) and Scoring Zones. The VTS focuses on the instruction component of “how” to play and Scoring Zones focuses on “where” to play based on distance. The Visual Tracking System (VTS) will train new learners to become more accurate in their practice and performance in all aspects of the game. The VTS is the most versatile way for high handicap players to visually target the hole. The System is based on the scientific fact that the subconscious mind records experiences and guides our responses to different situations when we don’t even realize it; the subconscious mind is a powerful tool we can harness to teach new skills that stay with us for a lifetime. In our daily lives we have all been conditioned by visual stimuli. Red means stop, green means go, arrows are meant to provide direction, etc. There are three main components to the VTS: Spots, Dots & Arrows. The Spots, Dots and Arrows provide a new learner the visual stimuli needed for the brain to follow to accurately deliver the ball. Spots: These circular “spots” are used to visually illustrate points to judge distance when pitching and launching in order to learn where to land the ball. When instructing a student to chip, you can say “See the green dot, make the ball land there and roll the rest of the way to the hole”. Instructors talk about doing it and may even use a coin or other object but no one has ever had a system for instructing the “where”. Dots: These circular “dots” provide points to judge distance when chipping and putting in order to learn where to land the ball. Chipping and putting require accuracy. The arrows are spread just wide enough for the ball to pass through, creating a pathway for the ball to accurately hit the target. Arrows: Our brain is trained to follow arrows; they tell us where to go. Within the VTS there are two sets of bright yellow arrows, small and large. The small arrows are for chipping and rolling and the large arrows are full pitching and launching. Long rectangular Connectors are also provided to make the arrows longer if needed. Using Connectors you can make very long arrows to direct a new learner to better follow a particular direction. You would use this learning tool to train the new learner to focus on being more accurate based upon the visual stimuli of arrows. You could use it to illustrate to unskilled players how to play a slope or to just to lineup the shot.
Our second new product is Scoring Zones. Many people understand “how” to do the shots but they don’t understand which shot to make “where” distance wise. Scoring Zones provide the visual stimuli needed to learn which shot to make based upon distance to the green. Instead of just aiming in a direction and hoping the ball will get close, using Scoring Zones you are actually able to target based upon a visual that illustrates distance. Scoring Zones contain SNAG-a-Green, Spots, Large Arrows, and Connectors. The SNAG-a-Green is a portable outline of a golf green. The Flagsticky Target resides in it when it is set up. With the SNAG-a-Green you are able to set up a course anywhere! The Spots follow the same color coordination as all other SNAG products so it is a seamless and consistent learning system for the student: Roll is Blue; Chip is Green; Pitch is Yellow & Launch is Red.

CONGRATULATIONS to Kashima Frierson, winner of the first "SNAG AWARD". This award provides Health & Physical Education interns at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK with the opportunity to go into the PE field with over $2,000 worth of golf equipment for their PE classes. Final interns are asked to write an essay telling how they could use SNAG Golf to better their school and their community. Kashima's essay was chosen as this semester's winner by the SNAG team. In her essay she says, "I had never had any intentions of playing golf, nonetheless learning about golf. Golf was not very popular for African American youths growing up in Southeast Washington DC, attending DC Public Schools, nor was it offered as an extracurricular activity in the schools. Golf was deemed a sport for rich people, not for inner city youths."
Kashima plans to implement a new school SNAG program in her local community to grow the game. She was excited to win the award and stated, "Being able to expose students to SNAG golf would not only open otherwise closed doors, it would allow students to run through the door of a fabulous new world of possibilities, hope and enlightenment." Great job Kashima! We sincerely hope you have the opportunity to introduce beginners of all ages, races, and backgrounds to golf!!

We were recently passed on this article about SNAG Golf programs in Springfield, MO titled "SNAG a popular way to introduce kids to golf" that was published in the Joplin Globe on November 7, 2010. While we always love to see kids being introduced to golf and dedicated professionals, such as Rick Grayson, highlighted for their great work we also want to clarify one point. The article mentions that "the [SNAG] program isn't inexpensive. Five SNAG sets cost about $10,000". The cost the author is speaking of is for FIVE "All Ages" Coaching Kit, our largest and most comprehensive system, used mainly by Physical Educators with larger classes. Springfield shares these five All Ages Kits between their 37 public elementary schools. On top of using these Kits for school golf programs, they can also be used to make income through after school programs and tournaments. Coaching Kits provide a proven and effective method to teach hundreds of student’s golf and life skills year round. Each All Ages Kit normally costs $2,299, but when bought in bulk for a school system we lower the price if possible. So if $2,299 sounds a little pricey, let's break it down further to really explore the true costs of the SNAG Coaching System.
The SNAG Golf Coaching System isn't just a few fun golf clubs, it is a comprehensive golf development system based on scientific research and validation by industry professionals over multiple years. SNAG Golf tirelessly studied the most efficient colors, word cues, and methods to teach beginners the basic skills needed to be successful in golf. Once you know how people learn you know how to teach them. The All Ages Kit is perfect for physical educators as it contains everything you need to teach classes for ages 5 through adults. You can teach 16 students in each age group, or 36 total at one time. It consists of the following:
ALL AGES KIT * 12 Launch Pads * 4 Flagsticky Targets * 100 SNAG balls * 4 Rollerama Targets * 2 Bullseye Targets * 4 Snapper Training Tools * 4 SNAGazoo Training Tools * 4 Roller Brush Training Tools * 4 SNAG-O-Matic Training Tools * 16 Hoop Clocks * 1 Equipment Carrier * 1 Curriculum manual * 1 Instructional Video
* Extra SNAG Balls (100) * Extra Equipment Carrier (1)
26” (5-7 yrs old) Clubs * 14 Launchers (12 right, 2 left) * 8 Rollers
30” (8-10 yrs old) Clubs * 14 Launchers (12 right, 2 left) * Rollers
34” (11 yrs old +) Clubs * 14 Launchers (12 right, 2 left) * Rollers
Instructors can teach age 5 through adults with this Kit. SNAG can be played anywhere, indoors or out, so you can use the Kit 365 days a year (before, during, or after school). The average SNAG Kit lasts about 8 years. Physical Educators have the prime opportunity to offer after school programs to easily pay for the equipment and to make additional income. Many parents would easily pay $99 for their kids to be introduced to the basics of a game they can play for the rest of their life, and don't underestimate the power of potential college scholarship money! So let's do the math:
Example: "Girls Golf" After School Program: One lesson a week for 6 weeks; 16 girls ages 5-7 @ $99/student 16 students x $99 = $1,584
With ONE very easy after school program, you have paid for OVER half of the cost of the equipment...and you can still use it for years to come to teach students and to make additional income! If the up-front cost to your school is an issue, contact us and we will work with you to find potential partners and resources. Many times a school system will share an All Ages Kit or the smaller and less expensive "Large Group" Coaching Kit. There are many options to make a SNAG Program work and we can help find you the resources you need. If a school system can have a proven and endorsed golf program for many years for only $2,200 with no additional cost, you can't afford NOT to check out SNAG. Our "Large Learning Group" Coaching Kit consists of everything you need to teach SNAG to 16 students in one age group ($1,500). Our NEW "Small Learning Group" Coaching Kit is for smaller groups of 8 students at one time ($800). This option will be very popular with our Golf Pros. You can always add a Supplemental Kit if you are instructing more students in another age group. Taking the same "Girls Golf" clinic example as above, a pro using our Large Group Coaching Kit could do ONE 6 week lesson and TOTALLY pay for the Kit. Summer Camps are also a very lucrative option. We have dedicated professionals out there right now that are making from $10,000 to $50,000 per year of additional income using SNAG. We have seen more and more pros choosing to do SNAG full time and not being disappointed. One guy has started a company to do SNAG Birthday parties! Pros can really get creative! As you can see, the SNAG Coaching System is a revenue generating opportunity as well as a great chance to introduce future golfers to the game we all love!
