Some of the world’s top golf instructors are coming to Jamaica for a new series set at the Half Moon resort. 

It’s called the Golf Guest Instructor Series, and it will include instruction from legendary teachers like David Leadbetter, Nick Starchuck, Gary Gilchrest and Mike Manavian. 

The series will include a variety of options for beginners and seasoned golfers. 

“Whether you are just getting started in this great game or you are trying to lower your handicap to a new level, we have the experience and capability to assist you in attaining your goals,” the hotel said. 

Half Moon is home to what’s often dubbed the “Caribbean Augusta,” a Robert Trent Jones, Sr-designed championship course that first opened in 1962.
