Sea Island Golf Performance Center
The concept of today’s Golf Performance Center was born when Davis Love, Jr., father of Sea Island touring pro Davis Love III, moved his family to Sea Island in 1977 to teach golf at Sea Island Golf Club, pioneering the idea of offering year-round golf instruction in a permanent location. When Love, Jr., died in 1988, his longtime friend and fellow instructor Jack Lumpkin, assumed leadership, overseeing its progress in size and stature. In 1995, the Center became the first in the country to be recognized by the USGA. Today’s Golf Performance Center is the outgrowth of both men’s vision and talent, helping to establish Sea Island as the finest golf destination in the nation.
