Els Performance Golf Academy (EPGA) has been selected to become Viet Nam’s golf training centre, following a signing ceremony held in Hanoi on Sunday.

EPGA, which is the first international golf academy in Viet Nam, in co-operation with the Viet Nam Golf Association (VGA), the National Sports Administration and the Viet Nam Olympic Committee, has been chosen to carry out a programme to train golf athletes.

Their main target is to encourage Vietnamese golfers to compete at  international levels in the near future.

EPGA will also become a partner of VGA in organising monthly tournaments, where young competitors are given the opportunity to sharpen their skills and learn from international coaches. Following a project of the National Golf Team, all members of the national squads will be allowed to practise at the EPGA’s facilities in Ecopark Urban Area, a 25-minute drive from the city centre.

EPGA introduces, apart from state-of-the-art technologies and teaching methods, the Sam PuttLab, the world’s most accurate and comprehensive putt analysis and training system for trainers.
