With 60 players ranging from ages 4 to17 enrolled in the Guyana Golf Association and Nexgen Golf Academy programme, parents and children are hailing the Camp as a success and demand has led to a second Camp scheduled for August 2-14.
Three afternoons weekly, dozens of eager golfers with parents in tow, descend upon the Academy on Woolford Avenue in Georgetown for two hours of learning and fun that extends beyond just golf. This week, the youngsters were given the opportunity to learn about archery and table tennis whilst parents relaxed and enjoyed massages compliments of the GGA and Modfin Salon & Spa. The Camp is scheduled to end on July 17 with a skills competition for parents and children to win prizes and trophies. It is dedicated to the memory of Coach Colin Ming who was a key partner of the Academy and Golf in Guyana.
The Ming family and Neil Jones from Florida continue to support the development of the youth programme and have pledged additional equipment which is already on its way to Guyana in time for the second Camp scheduled for August.
