A NEW academy is to be launched at Dummer Golf Club this weekend.

A number of improvements have been made to the practice and coaching facilities at the club and the MyProGolf Academy will officially open for business on Saturday.

A new launch monitor has been installed and an artificial putting green has also been built, while the driving range, putting green and short game area have all been refurbished.

Members and non-members are welcome to attend the event, which will run from 9am-3pm on both Saturday and Sunday.
