Practice Facilities

TrackMan

Practice

LSU utilizes TrackMan technology to improve each player’s game with properly-fitted equipment tailored to their specific needs. Each player is able to obtain exact yardages for each club in his bag while measuring various aspects of his swing, such as launch angle, spin rate, attack angle, clubhead speed, ball speed and much more.

FACILITIES

CONFERENCE ROOM u

The lavish conference room at the LSU Golf House enables the LSU coaching staff and players to meet in a quiet, spacious area.

WEDGE GAME

The practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility feature a wedge-game area with three target greens, each measuring 2,000 square feet. Players can fine tune their wedge game by hitting shots from all lies and angles up to 120 yards as the greens are guarded by rough and five bunkers. The project, designed by LSU alumni David Toms, Jim Lipe and Chuck Winstead, was completed in the summer of 2007.

PUTTING GREEN

In addition to building a new wedge game area, recent renovations to the practice facilities at The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility saw the completion of a brand new putting green measuring 10,000 square feet along with an existing putting green measuring 14,000 square feet that has been overseeded with bent grass. In all, the improvements to the practice facilities at the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility are estimated at $150,000.

TEE BOX

Members of the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams have the opportunity to practice in a spacious environment as the Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility features a large tee box measuring 100 yards in length.

SAM PuttLab

The SAM (Science and Motion) PuttLab uses the same basic principles as TrackMan technology, but with putting. The Tigers are able to fine tune their putting stroke from the feedback SAM provides about the angle of the putter face at set up, impact and through the stroke.

Club Repair

The Bilyeu Golf Practice Facility is blessed with a state-of-the-art club repair room that allows the players to re-grip clubs, re-shaft clubs and check and change the lies and lofts of each club, including woods and putters, to ensure your set is where you want it.
