Coaches for training come from all corners of the world, like PGA Golf Professional and coach Rachel Choi, who helps the juniors in the programme perfect their swings and has seen an equal number of boys and girls at their Centre of Excellence. There has also been a push to accommodate all, with a fenced-off area for those who wish to play separately.
