The Georgia Tech golf team was the first Division I program to sign up with Clippd. Bruce Heppler, who is one of the most successful head coaches in college golf and a member of the Georgia Golf Hall of Fame, said, "Clippd is a key part of how we develop our players. If you're serious about getting better, you should be using it."
Last season, the Yellow Jackets made it through to the Championship Match at the NCAA Division I Finals at Greyhawk in Arizona. The team includes Christo Lamprecht, silver medal winner at the 2023 Open Championship at Hoylake and a recent World Amateur Golf Rankings No. 1.
"What Clippd offers is superb," explained Coach Heppler, who has led Georgia Tech golf for 30 years. "It's very easy to use and it allows players to examine themselves - in detail and in every part of the game. I think that's critical if a player really wants to improve."
Katherine Cook is a sophomore at Florida State University. Katherine learned to play at Glen Arven Country Club in Thomasville, Ga., and won two state championships at Brookwood High School. She finished third at the 2021 Georgia Women's Amateur Championship. She and her Seminoles teammates use Clippd to make incremental improvements in each part of their game.
"With Clippd, I get validation on what I do really well, plus I know things I need to work on," she explained. "That's how I've been able to grow a lot since the time that I started at Florida State. I think Clippd is awesome."
Padgett Chitty has returned to her home state for her final year of college golf. The Georgia State University graduate transfer won the 2021 Georgia Women's Match Play Championship at Brunswick Country Club.
"I started using Clippd in August and I absolutely love it," Padgett said. "Since I've started using Clippd, I can see exactly what is wrong in my game, which helps me work on the things that are going to really make a difference. It really has benefited me. I think Clippd would be fantastic for the younger generation - I wish I had access to it sooner. What Clippd really provides those young players is a chance to actually see their growth.
"When you're 14, 15, 16, there's so much growth within your game," she added. "Some juniors really don't realize it. They might have a bad tournament and think they're not going to get to play collegiate golf. But that is not true. They can look at Clippd and see just how great of a player they are and how much they have grown."
