About

The South Jersey Golf Schools started in 1980

with just one camp.  In 1992, the SJGS moved

to Somerton Springs, South Jersey Golf

Campus, now called the Big Swing Golf​ Center. 

By 1996, this facility was acclaimed as one of the​

county’s top 88 driving ranges by the Golf Range

Association of America.  Now after over a decade

later, the South Jersey Golf Schools are back! 

Today, we offer a vast array of instructional programs

helping you enjoy the game more while improving

scores. 

Our staff consists of the area’s finest instructors.  This year

marks another exciting year for the SJGS Director, Bob

Cardea.  He is thrilled to be back at the place his father,

Dr. Don Cardea helped to build nearly 30 years ago. 

Coach Cardea is the 7-time NEAC Coach of the Year, leading the

Scarlet Raptors to nine NEAC Conference Championships, and NCAA Finals appearances. In 2019, Rutgers Camden Golf finished 16th in the Nation.  Bob is also the Rutgers University at Camden’s 2-time Coach of the Year award winner.  In addition, he has been the site director for numerous national organizations, competitions and programs including:  Chairman of the Mid-Atlantic GCAA/NCAA All-American Selection 

Committee, Chairman of the NEAC Conference Golf 

Committee, LPGA Girls Golf Program, Re/Max Skill Challenge, and the Long Drivers of America (LDA) as seen on ESPN.
