COLLEGE STATION – The Mary Louise & Robert L. Albritton ’71 Golf Performance Center opened Friday, featuring world class training and recovery equipment in support of the Texas A&M men’s and women’s golf programs.
The 5,344 square foot facility sits directly next to the Paul Wahlberg '50 Aggie Golf Learning Center with both being directly tied into the teams’ home course of Traditions Club.
The performance center features four hitting bays, two golf simulators and a 1,600 square foot putting green. Additionally, housed in the facility are top-tier recovery and performance areas such as a training room with sauna, hydrotherapy pool and fitness room.
The multimillion-dollar space, made possible by the generosity of Mary Louise and Robert Albritton ‘71, continues Texas A&M’s deep commitment to excellence in golf. The facility is less than three miles from the heart of campus, offering its student-athletes unparalleled access and proximity to their home course and team buildings.
