Since arriving in Denmark, I have been incredibly impressed with the work that Peter and his team have done developing players in the region, and have done this without facilities to match their skills. I believe that together with Camilla, Peter, Andreas and Nicolai will give our members the very best coaching options in the region.”
The Dansk Golf Akademi setup will continue to operate from Royal Golf Club, Frederikssund Golf Club, Golf I Lunden, Lyngbygaard Golf Club and Kokkedal Indoor Golf.
