Technique, strategy, and scoring. TGI's player development approach has produced numerous Division I scholarships and dozens of competitive junior champions.
Every lesson, program, and decision at TGI is built around three interconnected areas. Master all three and your scorecard will show it.
The fundamentals that every other part of the game depends on. Using Trackman dual-radar technology and video analysis, we diagnose your swing at the root level — understanding impact, ball flight laws, and movement patterns to create real, lasting improvement.
Playing smarter is often more impactful than swinging better. We teach you how to think on the course, manage risk, and make decisions that consistently produce lower scores.
Wedge play, putting, and green reading are the fastest route to lower scores for most golfers — yet the most overlooked in traditional instruction. We treat the short game as its own discipline, because this is where rounds are made or broken.
From a single swing evaluation to a season-long junior academy program, TGI has the right format to match your goals and schedule.
One-on-one instruction with Trackman data and video analysis. Every session is structured around your specific goals and performance gaps.
A comprehensive assessment of your full game — swing mechanics, short game, putting, and on-course strategy — with a personalized roadmap for improvement.
Year-round structured programs for junior golfers. Group and individual formats, competition prep, and a community of competitive young players.
Send your swing videos from anywhere in the world. Receive a detailed video breakdown from TGI instructors — no travel required.
Custom fitting using Trackman and our full equipment partner inventory. We fit irons, drivers, wedges, and putters using real performance data.
On-course instruction at our four partner courses. Learn to apply range mechanics in real playing conditions with course management coaching.
Our instructors have competed at the collegiate, professional, and world-tour level. That playing experience drives every drill, every lesson, and every piece of advice.
Meet the InstructorsFrom driver spin profiling to iron shaft selection, every fitting recommendation is grounded in real Trackman data — not guesswork.
TGI runs a full custom club shop on premises. We re-shaft, re-grip, and adjust loft and lie — work most facilities have to ship out. The result: faster turnaround, complete control over the build, and equipment that's fitted, tuned, and ready to play.
The TGI Junior Academy has produced numerous tournament wins and helped many players earn the chance to compete at the collegiate level — including Division I. Our year-round program develops every dimension of a young player's game — from swing fundamentals to mental performance.

In 2010, Chris moved to Reno and turned his passion toward assisting junior golfers in reaching their dreams of competing at levels beyond high school.

An athlete his entire life, Braden brings a unique blend of international experience and athletic discipline to Trevino Golf Institute. In his junior year of high school, Braden was offered the rare opportunity to play professional soccer in Germany, where he competed at an elite level for four years. His time abroad instilled a deep understanding of high-performance environments, teamwork, and mental resilience.
After returning to the United States following multiple injuries, Braden redirected his competitive drive toward golf — a sport he had grown up around but never fully explored. Under the mentorship of Chris Trevino, he developed a comprehensive understanding of the game, from swing mechanics to course strategy.
Braden is currently pursuing his PGA certification. His patient approach and athletic background allow him to connect naturally with young players and help them build both confidence and skill on the course.
