Golf Academy

The BISP Golf Academy integrates the complete range of golfing skills for all levels, from primary school to senior school and elite golfers.

Headed up by Oliver Bates, a British professional who turned pro in 1998 and came to Asia to play and coach in 2001.

Formally coaching at Loch Palm, director of the Phunaka Academy and the Blue Canyon in Phuket, where he was also director of golf, Oliver has established himself as one of Asia’s finest teachers and has worked with players both on the professional Asian and European tours.

Under Oliver’s tutelage, BISP is building a dedicated golf centre on site, with driving range, bunkers and greens, providing students with the opportunity to improve their skills in all areas of the sport.

The vision of the BISP Golf Academy is to build and refine all students’ golfing skills through technical, mental, tactical and physical strategies.

The golf programme creates the full golfing experience preparing students for higher levels of play, aiming to develop an elite group that will pursue tournament play and represent the school in competitions.

The programme integrates the complete range of golfing skills for all levels, from primary school to senior school and elite golfers. Strong emphasis is placed on developing talent at a young age through golf skills, fitness and mental training with individualised development programmes.

Sessions take place at BISP, Loch Palm Golf Course or the Phunaka Golf Academy video studio and 9-hole academy course.
