Craig Perks eager to commence work at Le Triomphe Teaching Institute

[NewsCopy]

  After what felt like a lifetime, the wait is over for Craig Perks and the new Teaching Institute at Le Triomphe.

The facility officially opened last week, and Perks - now Director of Instruction at Le Triomphe after 15 years as a touring professional - is anxious to begin combining the fine-tuning of the golfer's swing with the fine-tuning of the golfer's body.

"This provides an environment where we can work on all facets of the development of the golfer," Perks said. "I'm very excited about the opportunity that this facility presents."

The Teaching Institute is located at the end of Le Triomphe's practice facility and is the crowning touch on a $400,000 range and practice area that was totally renovated during the course's multi-million-dollar reworking in 2003.

This could be great news for the Cajuns, with Theo's background in Junior Golf in the area, not to mention his dad's background with golf in the area and now a former All-American and successfull PGA tour player Craig Perks working with Juniors in the area, UL will continue to strengthen an already successull program. I sure hope Craig pushes some star pupils down to the corner of Johnston and University!!!!
