SEAMUS O'MAHONY, financial advisor to the Fleming Group, owners of the 550-acre Fota Island Golf Club and Resort in Cork, has announced that the state-of-the-art Golf Academy will be opened in June.

This will be after the club hosts the AIB Irish Seniors Open over the June Bank Holiday weekend.

The academy will have a 4,000-square-metre practice tee, with separate chipping green surrounded by bunkers, plus an outdoor putting green and a short game area with various targets.
