The mission of The Golf Performance Academy in Ridgefield, CT and Port St. Lucie, FL, is to prepare aspiring junior golf athletes to play collegiate golf by providing unencumbered educational and athletic opportunities, regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic background, while developing core values of hardwork, integrity, honesty, discipline, and resilience that will support their journey to become the best version of themselves on the course, in the classroom, and in life.”

The Federation is built on nearly 30 years of experience that Roger and his team have developing aspiring junior golfers. The Golf Performance Academy has become a premier destination for aspiring junior golfers from around the world to play at the collegiate level, refine their skills and reach new heights in their careers. The Academy provides a unique high-performance environment for aspiring collegiate golfers with equal focus on academic and educational enrichment.
