Turkey - Goldenswing Academy

The Goldenswing Academy is the brainchild of EGTF member, Ostap Lukyanov and is situated in the new Montgomerie Papillon Resort in Belek, Turkey.  Ostap asked me to go over and conduct a Diploma Course for him for a couple of prospective Teaching Professionals, and I was glad to go over and implement their training.

The facilities at the Golf Course were fantastic, with Monty's layout being a good test of golf for all standards of player.

Ostap owns and runs the Teaching Academy there, with some state of the art equipment on hand for the people wanting golf lessons.  There is a beautiful covered range, with the option of grass hitting bays as well, along with two magnificent teaching bays with Sam Balance Lab, Sam Put Lab, Yes Golf Putter Fitting Centre and many other top quality teaching aids.

The Short Game area was also top quality, with a pitching green, chipping green and huge putting green, to make it one of the best teaching and training facilities I have seen outside of the USA.

Belek is a vibrant area with many lovely hotels and other Golf Courses, all of excellent standard, which make it a great alternative to Portugal and Spain for EGTF Pro's taking groups.

The course went very well, with the two guys attending, a Russian ice hockey star and one of Ostap's Teaching Academy staff, passing the Diploma Course with flying colours.
