Young golfers have so many options available to them today to help them pursue their individual ambitions for the sport. They generally have available high school coaches, individual instruction, junior leagues, and even YouTube. But we know from experience that the golfers that succeed in college golf, more often than not, have structured mentoring as students from experienced golf professionals that makes in difference to their success.

R2M Golf Academy is excited to introduce for the 2025-2026 school year our new College Golf Preparatory Program, ROAD. Unlike any other program in the San Antonio area, Road will pair your high school golfer with experienced PGA instructors that have walked in your young golfers shoes. Instruction will be provided by Rob Myers, owner of R2M Golf Academy and PGA Director of Instruction, and Sofia Ruescas, PGA Associate and teaching professional, as well as founder of ROAD. Both have extensive competition experience at the collegiate and professional levels, in addition to their years of instruction experience.

The holistic approach offered in Road can be a huge lever and advantage for any student wanting to play golf in college. Recognizing that every golfer has different strengths and struggles, ROAD provides individualized support focused on long-term development and goals, not just short-term fixes.
