The Golf Lab Academy - Our Story
In the Beginning
Liam Mucklow started The Golf Lab in 2009, when he conceived the idea of bringing the PGA tour experience to the everyday golfer. Liam built a one-bay studio in Barrie, Ontario, Canada with technology to deliver golfers quantitative data for game improvement. Since then, thousands of golfers have joined Team Golf Lab and have graduated from our proprietary training programs by passing our performance-based exit tests.
The Golf Lab was the first game improvement company to apply the scientific method to each and every aspect of its service model. This data ensures that our coaches are delivering the most efficient and effective player development experience to our students. Our ongoing research and development ensure that your Golf Lab Certified professional will always be at the forefront of game improvement.
The Golf Lab Baton Rouge Research Center is housed on campus at Marucci Sports in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At this location, we conduct research and development for a number of technology companies and manufacturers.
