Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy Incoming Class Represents 25 Countries

Hank Haney International Junior Golf Academy - the world's only academy to combine training, academics and competition - announces the fall's incoming class represents 25 countries, five continents and 45 U.S. states.

Located on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, Hank Haney IJGA will begin the fall semester on August 15, featuring the most talented junior golfers from around the world including Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Panama, Romania, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago and Venezuela.

"Each day, our students at Hank Haney IJGA have an incredible opportunity to not only receive elite daily golf instruction, but learn about different cultures and traditions from their peers," says Peter Orrell, President and CEO of Junior Golf Corporation, which owns and operates the Hank Haney IJGA. "A reoccurring theme we hear from former students is how the diversity they experienced at Hank Haney IJGA made them more well-rounded individuals."

Hank Haney IJGA opened in 1995 with only six golfers. Since then, graduates have gone on to play the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour and at top NCAA Division I schools. Hank Haney serves as Director of Instruction and his students have gone on to win every major championship in professional, collegiate, amateur and junior golf.

"I started training at Hank Haney IJGA when I was 14," says Stephanie Meadow, a native of Northern Ireland and rising sophomore at the University of Alabama. "Hank Haney IJGA taught me everything that I know about the swing and I am now able to coach myself when I have no one around at tournaments."

The full-time golf program at Hank Haney IJGA consists of spending a half day on full swing, short game, course management, mental preparation and fitness training. For the other part of the day, students in grades five through 12 attend Heritage Academy to complete academic requirements with extensive offerings in college preparatory and honors courses.

From September until May, students compete on the International Junior Golf Tour in two and three-day events, with over 90 tournaments annually held each weekend.
