Indoor Golf Training Center Proposed for Augusta Area

Cressend Golf Performance is the latest proposal from a golf instructor wanting to build an indoor golf coaching facility. Golfers would have access to strength training and advice on eating habits and mental readiness. Officials must still examine and approve the plan before builders can start.

Augusta hosts the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club each spring. This new facility might draw talented players to the area and convince them to stay.

The proposal reflects what golfers want now. More people seek personalized help with their game and training tools powered by modern equipment. Cities that host big tournaments have seen similar facilities pop up.

Approval rests with local authorities and golf organizations. No date has been set for when reviews will finish.

Exact placement within Augusta hasn't been revealed yet. The proposal doesn't specify building size or how many employees would staff it.
