The alliance brings together one of the most recognized universities in the Midwest with the largest youth camp operator in the world.
"Working with Tyler and Charlie at Iowa is exciting," states Jason West, senior vice president of US Sports Camps. "You have quality, Division I golf coaches who are well-versed in junior camps, coupled with daily access to a championship golf course and state-of-the-art practice facilities right next to campus. I think this has the makings of a great overall experience for camp attendees this summer."
Charlie Hoyle, who joined the Iowa staff as the assistant men's coach in July of 2018, sees the camps as a great opportunity for motivated young players to get better. "The Iowa men's golf program is excited to join forces with Nike camps," said Hoyle. "This camp will offer a phenomenal learning experience for the kids. Utilizing our fantastic facilities, the campers will gain great insights into the game of golf and improve every aspect of their game as well."
