Golf schools in Jamaica

Captain CB Boak was the golfer from Jamaica. He was also the force behind the creation of The Jamaica Golf Association. This association was formed in order to promote the game more in this country. Since its formation in 1925, JGA has been working at popularizing the game more amongst the masses. As the popularity increased, more golf courses came up. On the present day, the JGA hosts around 10 to 15 tournaments every year.

Despite the JGA’s efforts, the game did not gain popularity. The infrastructure was poor, there was no funding, few courses were available and many other problems were there. However, over the last few years with the initiative of the JGA and also help from the government, a number of golf schools have been opened in Jamaica. Some of them are:

Cable and Wireless National Golf Academy

Breezes Jamaica Bay Golf School

Golf Academy At Jamaica

Tryall Golf School

In 1994, the Cable and Wireless National Golf Academy hosted an event called “In the City Clinic & Festival”. Tiger Woods was present there and it proved to be a huge success. The game is slowly gaining popularity amongst the masses. Now more and more Jamaicans are thronging the golf courses and enjoying a round of golf.
