SwingU, the golf technology and media company, announced today that Dave Kendall, founder of The Kendall Academy At Miles Of Golf, Ypsilanti, Michigan, has launched the Kendall Academy app in partnership with SwingU Academies.
The Kendall Academy at Miles of Golf is a Golf Channel Academy that provides both new and experienced players with top quality instruction and facilities. Coaches provide individual private lessons, coaching programs for both juniors and adults, and group instruction for beginners and experienced players. The studios are equipped with some of the industry’s most advanced technology, including TrackMan Ball Flight technology, BodiTrak and heated teaching bays to allow for all-season instruction and coaching programs.
The Kendall Academy app will provide students with an engaging, academy-like experience, including a content forum where both students and Kendall Academy-certified instructors will share video, stories and interact on everything in golf; a student swing locker for filming & saving swings; a VOD library of drills & lessons; 1-on-1 streamlined personal communication; and in-person lesson booking with the academy. Due to the integration of SwingU’s top-rated GPS & scorecard app, instructors at the Kendall Academy will be able to immediately analyze students’ rounds, stats and on-the-course performance when students use SwingU on the course.
