MAGNOLIA Park have announced the start of the Tony Jacklin Golf Academy.
Mark McGeehan, the club’s resident PGA head professional, will be running the one-hour sessions on Saturdays from February 28.
It is open to non-members and is aimed at those aged five to 16.
When juniors sign up to the eight week course, which costs £75, they receive one of 50 Academy memberships.
It allows them access to the club’s par 3 course, while it will be supplemented by work booklets.
Jacklin, a two-time major champion who captained Europe to three successive Ryder Cup victories, came on board at Magnolia Park last summer, helping to redesign a redevelopment at the club.
The comprehensive project includes the construction of a championship par three course, a hotel and a Tony Jacklin-branded clubhouse bar, which is due to be completed by next year.
