Billy Horschel had an idea. He wanted to spend a few days with some rising stars on the APGA Tour helping them with their games and bringing in some experts from different disciplines to prepare these players for the next season. So what did Billy do?
He asked APGA Players Troy Taylor II, Andrew Walker, and EJ Whiten Jr. to join him for a few days at TPC Sawgrass – home of the PGA TOUR – for a training camp. Billy also tapped into his team and network to help.
Dr. Bhrett McCabe, a licensed clinical and sports psychologist, founder of The MindSide, and Billy’s mental game coach signed on.
Alex Bennett, Director of Athletic Performance at the PGA Tour’s Performance Center and Billy’s strength and conditioning coach, stepped up.
Joe Plecker, Director of Golf Instruction at The Landings Club, GOLF Magazine Top 100 Teacher in America, and PGA Master Golf Professional, also raised his hand to help.
And we brought our cameras along to capture the action, passion and inspiration.

What does the game of golf meant to you? Stay on top. Breathe. So, I feel like I control with an eight iron that I can bring it down. I can control. Yes. Give me that one. Give me that one. Don’t go in. Is that good enough? Pressure is going to go back here and we’re going to go bombs away soon. Appreciate. I love the game of golf. I think it’s the greatest sport in the world. I want, you know, more people to experience it. That golf is more than just winning and losing. It’s about creating relationships and opening doors and creating possibilities that unless you’re inside the game of golf, you would never know how special this sport can be. It’s trial and error. It’s trying every little thing you possibly think. I’ve worked for Billy Horchel, been on his team for probably five or 6 years, and he’s shared his vision of APGA for a long time. All rigid and stuff, and he’s brilliant at connecting and mentoring young players. He brought up the idea of doing a collaborative program with him to share the secrets of what the best players do and help them along the developmental journey.
