Junior Programme

Hello Junior Golfers!

Term 2 Junior Golf Academy Flyer 

Cherie & Mark Alison our PGA Professionals who commenced with us on March 1^st 2021, are offering a  Junior Program structure, involving various exciting elements & opportunities. 

Below is a snapshot of what you can expect:

• A full 12-month Junior Program which will follow each of the school terms
• There will be an Term fee to join the program, however the kids will receive a shirt, hat & lesson booklet at the start of the year. The program will be structured and organised and outline/detail each weekly lesson session in advance.  Participants will also be encouraged to make notes on their progress in the lesson booklet throughout the year. 
• Sessions will run for approx. 1 hour per week (beginners ages still to be determined)
• The sessions will largely be games based with a focus on fun and involvement.
• A ratio of 1 coach for 8 students, will be used. 2 coaches will be on offer if required. This is required to ensure safety is at the forefront and all participants receive value for their time.
• The program will also look to have an advanced component with one on one lessons available.

A progression plan will be put in place to monitor the juniors through their sessions with the older/more able classes introduced to on course play when they are ready.

• Additional skills tests will be conducted throughout the year to test/reward improvement
• Family fun events will also be held conjunction with the program which will involve both a golf & hospitality component.
