Message from the Coach

Kent Golf is an excellent experience, whether you are a competitive low handicap player, looking to get to that level, or just looking to improve at this exciting game. Our co-ed varsity team has a very competitive schedule, providing team members with ample opportunity to test themselves against some of the best golfers in New England high school prep golf. The sub-varsity team has a slightly less demanding schedule of competition, with many matches during the season, and a focus on development of talent.

The Kent Golf Team practices and competes at Bulls Bridge Golf Club in South Kent, CT. Afternoon practice sessions involve a combination of short-game work on the practice green, long-game development on the practice range, and pulling the physical and mental components of a good game together out on the course. Access to PGA-certified training professionals and excellent facilities are a definite advantage for the team.

Kent School has recently renovated our indoor space into a complete team practice area. The focal point of the space is our newly acquired TrackMan system, which gives us year-round practice capabilities, excellent usable data to develop your game, and full simulator capability. This space is accessible to team members all year, and the entire space is a practice putting surface. We have our own outdoor practice range on campus as well, complete with a tee line with nine top-of-the-line hitting platforms, and two large practice bunkers. A practice putting surface is in the works, and once that is complete we will have everything that we need right here at home.

We are committed to allowing each student who wished to improve as a golfer the opportunity to do so at the level that best suits his or her abilities. Our sub-varsity team, and the developing players in the program who are not quite ready for competition, remain focused on improvement and gaining mental confidence, while our Varsity team is focused on competing at the highest level possible. Open movement within the program is always possible, where sub-varsity players may challenge their way into a varsity position with demonstrated merit.

If you have not already, I encourage you to make an appointment with the Admissions Office to visit our campus and meet our students.
