On Saturday 21 May 2022, the sound of the Scottish bagpipes officially started the Palm Springs & MIS Golf Academy Ceremony at the Sand River Golf Club. The Golf Academy was initiated by Merchiston International School (MIS) and golfers are coached by the Palm Springs International Golf Academy.



Distinguished guests: Mr Jianjun Lyu, Chairman of MIS, Dr Murray Tod, MIS Head of School, Ms Sonia Buchan, Director, Board of Governors, Mr Nick Rudd, Head of Pastoral Care, Todd Skevington, Head of PE, Mr Fuzhen Wu, General Manager of the Sand River Golf Club and Jianzhong Hao, Deputy General Manager



The ceremony was unveiled jointly by Mr Jianjun Lyu and Mr Fuzhen Wu where they both welcomed the guests. Mr Jianjun Lyu emphasised that golf originated in Scotland and shared the same cultural attributes with Merchiston Castle School (MCS), Edinburgh. MIS is delighted to establish the Merchiston Golf Academy here in Shenzhen and inherit the sports tradition just like its founding school, MCS. Palm Springs International Golf Academy is a prestigious golf institution with amazing coaching teams, cutting-edge facilities, and first-class support services for golf players. Mr Lyu believed that the jointly established Academy can provide the best golf education with a holistic approach.



Mr Fuzhen Wu mentioned that the rise of golf relied on the golf training for young generation. The Academy will have a profound impact on the development of excellent golf players in China and the popularization of the public awareness and love of golf. MIS is the first authentic international school in Shenzhen providing a British education and boarding system, which is well-known in the international education field in the Greater Bay Area for its holistic, high-quality education. This has laid a good foundation for training golf students in the future that Palm Springs International Golf Academy is quite looking forward to.



Merchiston Castle school (MCS) in Edinburgh has traditionally celebrated sport since it first opened in 1828. They excel in many team sports and in 2011 the School decided to open their own Golf Academy after their successful Tennis Academy opened in 2007. MCS immediately was recognised as one of the top UK schools for golf and is currently ranked 2nd in the UK.


After the Unveil Ceremony, Mr Jianzhong Hao and Todd Skevington enjoyed the Tee-shot Ceremony which officially begins the Academy’s journey.



The Academy offers opportunities for MIS students to learn golf in their PE lessons in the near future. The focus doesn't just lie with Seniors golfers, Juniors students will also be able to receive professional training from golf experts,’ said Todd Skevington, ‘this paths the way to an Elite holistic education.‘


The day also witnessed Sand River Golf Club & Merchiston International School Golf Competition which demonstrated the players’ sportspersonship.  



Well done to Johnson and Happy from MIS and Justin and Jacob from Sand River Golf Club on their award wins.




立足青少年高尔夫教育

打造全人教育范本

深圳曼彻斯通城堡学校携手棕榈泉国际高尔夫学院成立联名学院


5月21日,伴随着悠扬的苏格兰风笛声,棕榈泉曼校高尔夫学院于沙河高尔夫球会正式挂牌成立。该学院由深圳曼彻斯通城堡学校发起,棕榈泉国际高尔夫学院执教,是国际教育和高尔夫培训两大业界品牌强强联合的一次跨界尝试。



灯塔教育集团董事长吕建军、曼彻斯通城堡学校校长Murray Tod、校董成员Sonia Buchan、德育校长Nick Rudd、体育总监Todd Skevington,深圳沙河高尔夫球会总经理吴甫桢、副总经理郝建忠等合作双方的领导出席了仪式,见证了联名学院的成立。



仪式现场,灯塔教育集团董事长吕建军与深圳沙河高尔夫球会总经理吴甫桢共同为学院揭牌,并致欢迎辞。吕建军表示,高尔夫起源自苏格兰,与曼彻斯通城堡学校拥有共同的文化基因,曼校创办高尔夫学院是传承苏格兰文化、继承母校体育传统的题中之义。棕榈泉国际高尔夫学院在业界享誉盛名,其超高水平的教练团队、先进的硬件设施和完善的配套服务为联名学院的同学们提供了一流的教学支持,是曼校落实全人教育理念的一次强有力的佐证。



吴甫桢在致辞中提到,高球的发展和传承离不开对青少年的培养,联名学院为中国高球事业培养潜力球员、普及全民对于高球运动的认知和热爱都有着深远的影响。深圳曼彻斯通城堡学校是深圳首间纯英式寄宿制国际学校,以其全人素质教育见长而闻名于大湾区国际教育界,其学生群体中有很好的高尔夫运动氛围,这为学院未来培养球员奠定了良好的基础,也让棕榈泉国际高尔夫学院对青少年高球的发展充满了期待。



据悉,自1833年成立以来,爱丁堡曼彻斯通城堡学校就以其运动传统而闻名。多年来,爱丁堡曼校在团体运动上取得了优异的成绩,于2007年成功开设了自己的网球学院,随后又在2011年开设了高尔夫学院,并很快成为英国高尔夫教学质量最好的学校之一。去年,英国的全国高尔夫比赛中,爱丁堡曼校位列第二。


揭牌仪式后,棕榈泉曼校高尔夫学院名誉院长、沙河高尔夫球会副总经理郝建忠与棕榈泉曼校高尔夫学院执行院长、曼校体育总监Todd Skevington共同为联名学院开球,正式开启学院的教学运营工作。



“学院成立后,高尔夫课程便进入曼校的体育必修课,曼校学生在小学阶段就开始在教练的指导下进行专业的训练,” Todd Skevington表示,“我想这也是英式精英教育的题旨所在。”


深圳沙河高尔夫球会与曼彻斯通城堡学校青少年高尔夫友谊赛也于同日举行。



双方小球员们友好切磋、相互学习,最终,来自曼校的Johnson、Happy和来自棕榈泉国际高尔夫学院的Justin、Jacob获得了本次比赛的冠军。
