The Golf Academy is a great provision for young aspiring golfers to combine their studies and golf commitments. The programme is headed up by Mens and Boys International Coach Neil Matthews. Each learner has weekly lessons with Neil, and they are prescribed independent training schedules, which they can develop in a state-of-the-art golf studio.
The golf studio has a Trackman Simulator, and a Well Putt Tilt system, and this allows players realistic conditions and challenges to exercise their putting skills and techniques.

“The coaching with Neil is first class. My game has improved having contact with Neil at the college, as well as National events. This has made me more consistent in my performances. The golf suite is great for me to practice, and I’m managing to fit more hours in to improve. My tutors are supportive and have been very accommodating, I really liked my BTEC Sports Coaching course and the extra opportunities such as weekly work placements, sports guest speakers and national governing bodies coaching awards were helpful.
My favourite moment was winning the ICT tour Finals, and I was rewarded with an all-expenses prize of playing on the Faldo Junior Tour at the Al Ain Equestrian, Shooting and Golf Club in the United Arab Emirates. Anyone thinking of studying and playing golf at the college, I would definitely recommend this. I am grateful for what the college has done for me, and I am looking forward to continuing my journey as a student athlete out in America from August this year.”
