LOOK THROUGH THE THE JANE AND WALT DENNIS GOLF PERFORMANCE CENTER AND THE ATHLETICS DISTRICT
The Jane and Walt Dennis Golf Performance Center is a unique facility that allows players to practice the entire range of short game skills from 60 yards and in.
The center also features an undulating green and bunker complex, a putting surface divided into sections to accommodate different Stimpmeter speeds, and a hydraulic putting `floor’ which is equipped with computerized technology which allows players to analyze putting techniques and practice sidehill lies.
Considered one of the finest competition pools and diving wells in the nation, the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion’s new technology provides a facility for some of the fastest times and best diving in the country.
In addition to serving as the competition venue for men’s and women’s swimming and diving, McCorkle also is the home pool to the Ohio State synchronized swimming team. Located in the heart of campus and adjacent to three other world-class facilities – Ohio Stadium, Thompson Library and the Recreation and Physical Activity Center – , McCorkle has earned a reputation for fast water. In fact, that’s what the Columbus Dispatch wrote about the facility in an in-depth article titled “Built for Speed.”
The article stated that “it’s not one thing that makes this pool fast, but a collection of things – the depth, number and width of lanes, deep gutters, and water inlets at the bottom of the pool – that reduce waves.”
Located to the north of the Scarlet Course clubhouse and beside the eighteenth fairway, the 20,000 sq. ft. facility also features players’ lounges, locker rooms, a weight training and conditioning area and a club-repair room.
A separate building built on the practice range includes five heated driving bays that are equipped with video and tracking technology, helping to provide golfers with immediate feedback on aspects of the play such as swing and ball flight.
