A Swinging Success – Golf Day at XFE Academy
A Swinging Success – Class Golf Day at XFE Academy
At XFE Academy, we believe that learning extends far beyond the classroom—and our recent Golf Day proved just that. On a crisp, sunny morning, our students swapped their textbooks for golf clubs and hit the greens for a day of fun, networking, and mentorship with their incredible lecturer, Alicia Flemming.
Held at a picturesque local course, the Golf Day was more than just a break from the academic routine—it was a chance to connect, reflect, and enjoy the sport in great company. For many of our students, it was their first time stepping onto a golf course, and Alicia made sure it was an unforgettable experience. Known for her vibrant teaching style and supportive approach, Alicia brought the same energy and encouragement to the course that she brings to every lecture.
Whether it was mastering a swing, sharing laughs over missed shots, or learning the etiquette of the game, the day was filled with moments that brought everyone closer together. More experienced players offered tips to beginners, and Alicia’s enthusiasm kept the spirit high from tee-off to the final hole.
“It’s not just about golf,” Alicia shared. “It’s about showing our students that confidence, patience, and practice—whether on the course or in life—always lead to growth.”
The event also sparked insightful conversations about leadership, focus, and discipline—core values we nurture at XFE Academy. For our students, Golf Day became a metaphor for personal development: setting goals, staying focused, and learning from every swing.
To cap off the day, we enjoyed refreshments, shared stories, and celebrated not just the best scores, but the best attitudes. It was a reminder that education is about building well-rounded individuals—resilient, respectful, and ready to take on the world.
A huge thank you to Alicia Flemming for making the day so special, and to our students for stepping out of their comfort zones and embracing the opportunity. Golf Day was a hole-in-one, and we can’t wait for the next one!
