Apr27 Annika Academy
Last updated:
Annika Sorenstam, the world’s most successful female golfer, will open her first golf academy in Florida in October.
A 5,400 square-foot, state-of-the-art teaching facility, surrounded by private chipping and putting greens, will serve as the centerpiece of the Ginn Reunion Resort Annika Academy.
Students will sharpen their skills on Reunion’s three signature golf courses designed by Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and JackNicklaus.
Small class sizes of approximately seven to nine people per class will afford students an unprecedented level of personalised attention, not often found today in golf clinics and schools.
Sorenstam’s long time golf coach, Henri Reis, will be the lead instructor at the facility. As Annika’s success on the course has been due in large part to being in excellent physical condition, much of the training at the academy will focus not only on the golf swing, but on athletic training, including cardio and core-strengthening techniques. The philosophies of Annika’s personal trainer, Kai Fusser, will lie at the foundation of her curriculum.
