It is now 5 years since we began running courses in China, and in that time we have seen many new people complete the EGTF training programs. The EGTF brand is becoming associated with high quality, instructional golf courses aimed at getting people with a passion for teaching, into golf coaching.
The progress has been made easy with the excellent help of Jack Lee and David Zhou, who run EGTF China and are dedicated to establishing the courses here.
We are looking to develop the EGTF name along with our excellent Junior Program to help more people get into golf through our passionate EGTF golf coaches. 2015 looks full of promise and with hard work and dedication, we should see a lot of activity in the golf coaching market.
The Diploma Course at Senxing Driving Range in May 2015 has proved to be very good with 4 high level players, from a Chinese LPGA player to already established golf coaches, coming through our system.
I was pleased to be able to come over to Taizhou for the opening of the new EGTF China Golf Academy. Myself and Jimmy Qi (China PGA Player) were asked to do the official opening of the facility, which is the work of EGTF China Representative Jack Lee.
It is a very impressive facility, in the grounds of the Taizhou Athletics Stadium, developing the driving range and par 3 course from the old warm up track and surrounding grounds.
Jack and his team of EGTF coaches will be implementing the EGTF Junior Program at the facility along with a variety of adult programs as well.
As the name of the EGTF starts to spread in China, we anticipate more golf academies opening, using the simple methods created by the EGTF, and producing the next generation of Chinese golf players.
Congratulations to Jack Lee and his team for the hard work over the last few years in developing the EGTF brand in China.
