Phuket, Thailand: Asian Golf Industry Federation Golf Course Facility Member Laguna Golf Phuket has upgraded its academy.
The training facility now features three dedicated swing rooms, fully equipped with the latest video analysis and training equipment, complemented by a team of experienced PGA instructors.
Paul Wilson, Assistant Vice President/Group Golf Director of Laguna Golf, said: “We are excited to expand into the golf instruction market with Laguna Golf Academy Phuket.
“Our objective with this facility is to create a world-class learning environment for golfers of all abilities. Golf can be such a social sport, providing endless networking or team building opportunities, not to mention the health benefits and all round fun.”
Included among the available golf packages are Laguna Golf Academy Phuket’s Half Day and Full Day with the Pro experience, which can be combined with on-course play.
For longer-term visitors or residents, there are monthly academy packages which include golf lessons and unlimited practice facility usage during the term.
During a recent visit, six-time Major winner and Laguna Golf Ambassador Sir
Nick Faldo held a golf clinic for property owners at the Academy.
“I’m delighted to see Laguna Golf Phuket promoting the game with this new teaching facility for keen golfers,” said Sir Nick, who shared his knowledge on a variety of aspects, including technical golfing skills and physical conditioning for golfers.
“I’ve been visiting Banyan Tree Phuket for over 20 years now. I’m impressed by the management vision to keep developing and enhancing this already world-class integrated resort.
“Laguna Phuket has everything an avid golfer, or non-golfer, could wish for. I can’t wait to return later this year and look forward to working further with the Laguna Golf Academy Phuket.”
