CONTROVERSIAL GOLF LESSONS TEE OFF IN SOUTH CHINA SCHOOL
Twelve teenagers began formal golf lessons on a controversial primary school driving range in China’s southernmost Hainan Province. The indoor driving range, the first of its kind in a school offering primary and junior high school classes in the province, covers more than 300 square meters and allows 12 people to practice their swing at one time.
More than 400 students had applied to join the golf team with the approval of their parents, but only 12 were selected. No fees were charged as the school had set up a 200,000-yuan training fund, he said.
