Golf Co-Ordinator at Robina State School Shane Stevenson is veryenthusiastic about the development of this new program. We have had a great deal ofsuccess with our program since it s inception more than 10 years ago but now we canoffer both our international and domestic students even more. We are going to beoffering a program that is the equal of anything that is available in the US atplaces like the San Diego Golf Academy and the International Junior Golf Academy andat a more attractive cost. Our main market is obviously going to be from the Asianarea but I am sure that students from the United States and South America would beinterested in training and learning here in Australia. Stevenson said.The Perfectstroke Golf Academy provides the instruction of students through a PGAmember at Robina High School at their specially dedicated golf practice areas onsite at the school. Currently PGA member Mark Officer and owner of the PerfectstrokeGolf Academy is delivering the program at Robina High. We are planning to offer anall in one program that many of our overseas students have to try to organize forthemselves at the moment. We have a lot of Asian school age students who arecurrently living in Australia and they come out here because of the good reputationof the golf instructors and because the weather is so good year round. They findthemselves a coach, somewhere to practice and play which can be difficult, then theyneed to look at schooling and somewhere to live. We aim to provide all of theseanswers including arranging suitable homestay and transport so that the kids are inthe best possible environment to improve. Officer stated.
