Blackwood Golf Academy

Resident PGA professional, Debbie Hanna, is on hand to offer expert advice throughout year.

Ogilvie Fleet are proud to announce their sponsorship with Debbie. Ogilvie is excited by the opportunity to support Debbie as she continues to use her experience and expertise to assist golfers with their own personal development.

Debbie is Irish Ladies Golf Union (Ulster District) Coach. Ulster are  holders of the Ladies, Under 18 and Under 15 Inter-provincial titles in 2010. The first time that Ulster has held all titles simultaneously.

Lessons are available Tuesday thru Saturday and late nights are Wednesday and Thursday. Also available on Sundays from April until September.

Lessons can be arranged with Debbie for one-to-one classes or for tuition for groups – usually on the floodlit driving range but also on one of Blackwood’s two courses by arrangement.

Debbie also organises the Blackwood Junior Golf Academy Summer Courses… a kids summer school which offers an affordable and fun holiday activity that is a good grounding and introduction to golf. She is also the driving force behind the annual Blackwood Junior Golf Competition held in the summer.
