Description

The Annika Academy is a 5,000 square foot training facility in Reunion Florida that features a ringed private chipping and putting green that serves as the centerpiece of the academy. Students will sharpen their skills on Reunions's three Signature golf courses designed by golf legends Tom Watson, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.

Sorenstam's long time golf coach Henri Reis, will be the lead instructor at the facility. When Reis first began coaching Annika in 1987, she found great value in the methods he employed to translate the complexities of golf into simple language.
