Convergence Produces New Original True Life Documentary Television Series for Golf Channel

Market Wire, September, 2008

Orlando-based television production company Convergence has completed a new original true life documentary television series for Golf Channel.

"School of Golf: Hilton Head Island" is the title of the new national television series that began airing its first season on Golf Channel this month. The show's first episode premiered on September 2nd. Convergence has produced 8 half-hour episodes which feature prominent golf instructor Hank Haney teaching a class of aspiring young professional golfers. Haney is best known for coaching PGA Tour superstar Tiger Woods and two-time major championship winner Mark O'Meara.

The series began production in January and was shot in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. According to series producer and director Constantin Preda, "'School of Golf' is a gritty, rock-paced, true life documentary TV series about high school students at Hank Haney's International Junior Golf Academy." Each year, elite high school golfers from around the globe converge at the IJGA with one dream: to be part of the next generation of great golfers.

Training on two island campuses, these ambitious young athletes live together, go to class together, and compete in national tournaments together as they struggle and strive to learn the game of golf and the game of life from Hank Haney and his passionate team of instructors. Will the students go from green to great, or will they crack under pressure? With dreams of winning college scholarships, earning spots on major college golf teams, and making it to the PGA Tour or LPGA Tour, the students at the IJGA share their genuine stories about grades, goals, and golf on this ultimate, unscripted TV show.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with Golf Channel on this very exciting new documentary series," stated Convergence Principal Kenny Taht. "The show offers a true inside look at young golfers that attempt to fulfill a dream of becoming the next Tiger Woods."
