BISP Sea Eagles Golf Academy coach, Oliver Bates, said, “I’m extremely proud of the success of our golfers – they have been working so hard, especially on the mental side, for big events. In Bangkok recently, Namo and I.T didn’t just win, they destroyed the course and the rest of the field. Louise also continues to improve and impress and it’s great to see these golfers inspiring other young people to take up and enjoy golf.”
Congratulations to all our golf students on their recent efforts and achievements.
