And they’re off! Summer Academy Day 1 kicks off

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed students had an exciting first day at the 2014 Tiger Woods Learning Center Summer Academy. They practiced golf fundamentals, constructed mousetrap racers, identified marine life specimens and even delved into some tasty food chemistry. Day one was filled with excitement and anticipation, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the week has in store.

Check out the photo highlights from a stellar first day:
