Having successfully secured an Awards For All grant allowing the club to purchase an indoor inflatable net, Short Golf equipment, sets of clubs and various other pieces of training equipment, on November 25th a junior open evening was held and in excess of 40 juniors attended.
Along with their parents our Professional, Robert Irvine involved all in the coaching , primarily to let them see how much fun the children can have whilst also learning a host of skills which are multi-disciplinary.

On the evening there was Tug-of-war, throwing exercises and whole body warmup exercises which the children had fun with, whilst also developing movement patterns they can use for golf and other sports. There was also hitting balls and using the net and targets the Club have invested in. The feedback from the parents was tremendous, with many commenting on the friendly welcome and also just how much fun the children seemed to be having.

The club are promoting several packages to facilitate both adults and juniors into the game, and the club’s PGA Professionals regularly visit the local schools to introduce youngsters into the game.

Below are some pictures of the evening.
