Golfuture International Golf Academy
Entering its seventh year as one of the most famous golf tours
in China, the committee of Golfuture announced the
establishment of the BGGA-Golfuture International Golf
Academy in Haining City, ZhejIang Province, China. Although
golf has developed rapidly in recent years, there are only 559
professional golfers in China, a group made up of 336 males
and 223 females, and approximately 3000 amateurs. This
ratio of amateurs to professionals is much lower than the ratio
in other countries. In this environment, as Yanmei Wang said
during the press conference, it is important to have Golfuture
as a tool to help train and secure talented golf players.
Wendy Wu, Secretary General of Golfuture, said Golfuture
started its collaboration with BGGA in an effort to cultivate
excellent junior players. In June of 2014, BGGA became
Golfuture’s official training partner, and as part of the Player
Development Program, players fro m Golfuture spent 6 weeks
in a Golfuture-BGGA Winter Training Camp in Florida,
strengthening the partnership between Golfuture and BGGA.
Following BGGA’s M.A.P. training philosophy, BGGA-Golfuture
International Golf Academy will give players access to BGGA’s
coaching team. Going beyond the traditional model of the
mental, technical and physical elements of the game, BGGA’s
coaching team strives to help each individual player unlock
his or her full potential on and off the course.
BGGA-Golfuture International Golf Academy will let more
Chinese children enjoy the highest-level training system in
China. It is important to note that this international academy
has not been established just to focus on improving
technique. The goal of BGGA-Golfuture International Golf
Academy is to be an incubation center to cultivate top players
with global vision and transfer good players to national and
international tournaments.
