Support a Bahamian elite academy for youth golfers

As Harris Golf Academy moves into its next phase of growth, the performance of our athletes on the course continues to validate the strength of our developmental model. The competitive achievements of our players reflect the structure, coaching support, and consistent training access they now receive—elements that were previously out of reach for many talented Bahamian juniors. The following results demonstrate not only the individual progress of each golfer, but also the collective momentum of the academy as we build a new generation of competitive and confident players.

Our athletes in the Girls 15–18 division delivered remarkable performances throughout the season. Madison Carroll showcased exceptional consistency with scores of 79, 81, 79, 69, 72, 72, highlighted by a standout round of 69, confirming her readiness for the next level of competition. Chemari Pratt posted steady results of 81, 84, 86, 80, 78, 75, 82, reflecting continuous improvement and late-season confidence. Anissa Robinson demonstrated notable progression with rounds of 81, 91, 79, 78, 73, finishing her season with an impressive 73, one of her strongest competitive showings to date.

Our Girls 13–14 players continued to make extraordinary strides. Haley Hall emerged as one of the academy’s most exciting young talents, recording scores of 78, 66, 80, 75, 70, 72, 72, including an exceptional 66, one of the lowest scores among all HGA athletes this season. Kayleigh Rolle also had a strong season with rounds of 81, 79, 86, 76, 75, 73, consistently trending downward into the mid-70s as her confidence and ball control continued to develop. In the Girls 9–10 division, Azaria Bethell posted scores of 57, 49, 51, 48, 57, 46, 50, demonstrating impressive capability at such a young age and several rounds in the 40s that highlight her early potential.

Strong performances were also seen across the boys’ divisions. In Boys 15–18, Aidan Gorospe continued his rise with rounds of 69, 75, 72, 71, including a bold opening 69 that confirms his elite potential and collegiate readiness. Christopher Callendar added another solid season with scores of 79, 79, 86, 80, 75, 89, 80, maintaining consistency in competitive play. In the Boys 13–14 division, D’Andre Poitier posted 82, 82, 79, 78, 91, 81, 86, with multiple rounds in the 70s and a season-low 78, reflecting his improving course management and mental approach.

Collectively, these performances underscore the rapid advancement of Harris Golf Academy athletes and reinforce the importance of access, structure, and opportunity. Each score represents hours of training, dedication, and belief—both from our players and the foundation that supports them. These results serve as proof that when given the right environment, Bahamian junior golfers can compete at the highest levels. As we look ahead, we remain committed to building on this momentum, growing our academy, and expanding the path for even more young athletes to realize their full potential.

Supporting elite Bahamian junior golfers through Harris Golf Academy has long been a need in The Bahamas. For far too long, access to world-class golf training has been reserved for families with significant financial means, creating an uneven playing field and limiting the dreams of talented young athletes. Harris Golf Academy was founded to change that narrative—by opening doors, leveling the field, and allowing gifted Bahamian youth to develop in a high-performance environment regardless of financial background. In just a short time, the academy has already proven that this model works.

The impact has been undeniable. Through strategic development, access to consistent training, and holistic support, our students are now achieving what was once out of reach. Three of our players have secured full collegiate golf scholarships for Fall 2025, demonstrating both their talent and readiness for the next level. One student has been accepted into another elite international golf academy, while another has been awarded a prestigious foundation scholarship that will support her through the final year of high school and into college, complete with clinics, mentorship, and collegiate golf funding.

Our players are also making waves on the national stage. Six Harris Golf Academy students have earned places on the 2025 Bahamas National Junior Golf Team and will represent the country in two major events this year. Among them are the newly crowned national champions in both the Boys and Girls 15U divisions—an incredible milestone for our program. These successes reflect not only the talent of our players but also the effectiveness of a system built to nurture, guide, and challenge them.

Perhaps most inspiring is the hope we’ve ignited in the younger generation. HGA has become a symbol of what’s possible. It tells every child in The Bahamas that they don’t have to come from privilege to become an elite golfer. With the right support, it’s within reach. We are grateful to all who have joined us in this mission, and we extend a heartfelt thank you to the Sean Connery Foundation for their belief in us. Their support has been instrumental as we continue to build a sustainable, inclusive, and impactful program. We look forward to introducing our new class of academy players in Fall 2025—with more stories of hope and triumph to come.
