My daughter Emma has trained at ChampX Golf Academy for over two years, and the growth in her game has been nothing short of extraordinary. She has lowered her average score by nearly 40 strokes—from around 110 to a personal best of 72 (even par) in tournament play—and now carries a single-digit handicap. With aspirations of competing in college, Emma has been guided every step of the way by Coach Chris and the entire ChampX team, who have equipped her with the skill, discipline, and confidence needed to chase that goal.
Beyond world-class technical instruction, ChampX provides comprehensive support in tournament preparation, scheduling, course management, and the all-important mental side of the game. Their guidance throughout the college recruiting process has been invaluable, helping players understand expectations, timelines, and how to navigate each phase. Coach Chris’s extensive experience, reputation, and network also allow him to assist with meaningful college and university placement opportunities.
ChampX has been an exceptional experience for Emma. She has grown tremendously both on and off the course, built lifelong friendships, and we truly consider the entire ChampX community part of our family.

Champ X Golf Academy has been nothing short of life-changing for our daughter, Jordyn. Coach Chris and the entire coaching staff have far exceeded every expectation we had. Not only have they elevated Jordyn’s golf game through their expertise, structure, and dedication, but they’ve consistently gone above and beyond—caddying for her at tournaments, offering support when she needs it most, and showing a genuine investment in her success.
What truly sets Champ X apart is how deeply they care. Jordyn once struggled with confidence and was hesitant on the course, but these coaches have helped her grow in remarkable ways. Their encouragement has brought her out of her shell both on and off the course. She looks up to Coach Chris and Coach Tim, and Chris’s daughters—who help with the academy—have become some of her very favorite people.
Champ X isn’t just a golf academy; it’s a family. They know your name, celebrate your wins, and lift you up when things are tough. We are incredibly grateful to be part of the Champ X family and cannot imagine Jordyn’s golf journey without them.
Thank you, Coach Chris, Coach Tim, and the entire Champ X team—you truly are the best.

In just 18 months at ChampX, my daughter Megan went from shooting around 100 to consistently scoring in the mid-70s and low 80s, ultimately qualifying for the Second Annual UGA Women’s Junior Amateur—her first time participating. We also love that the coaches emphasize the mental side of the game, teaching her to “be mad for 10 steps and then move on” and to “play with what you have.”
Chris and the team cover everything—from swing mechanics and course strategy to mental resilience and even college recruiting guidance. Their comprehensive approach has made Megan confident, competitive, and excited to go to practice every chance she gets.
