Player Funnel

To improve the quality of the player offering we have initiated a Coach Certification and Development Program so that all the coaches involved in delivering GA programs can constantly improve and progress their coaching skills and coaching toolbox. This season we’ve bought and integrated new technology such as Trackman and SAM Putt Lab.

Trackman is a launch monitor that gives precise data of a player’s impact and is used by over 200 Tour Professionals. SAM Putt Lab is akin to an ‘X-ray’ machine developed to measure putting strokes, and again is extensively used by the World’s best players.

We want to offer HK players rich tournament experiences so they can learn and grow their games. Local clubs such as Clearwater Bay and Hong Kong GC have been generous in their support in allowing a number of GA Junior’s to compete in their medal competitions. Elite Juniors then get the opportunity to compete internationally so they can test themselves against the best players in the region. This year local Hong Kong top teenage amateur Humphrey Wong qualified for 2016 UBS Hong Kong Open. This young man met and watched European Tour Star David Howell 10 years ago, at the Hong Kong Open. They both played in the event last December and played a practice round match together and the match finished even! This is the power of dream and having a vision!
