The Junior Academy has been established by Ellesmere Golf Club to create a structured environment for young people between the age of 6 – 17 to be able to improve their golf skills in a friendly and safe environment.
The Academy via the Club Professional, Assistant Professional and Club Members provides coaching sessions and competitions on a regular basis throughout the year.
The Assistant Professional John Brown (PGA Coach) is the primary deliverer of coaching.
Coaching sessions take place in a number of locations: 1. Main Practice area 2. Pitching and chipping area 3. Bunkers 4. The Course 5. Indoors – Indoor activities have been devised for inclement weather and access to the swing analysis equipment in the Professional Shop is also included. 6. Driving range - During the winter (November – March) monthly coaching sessions are organised at the local Driving range. The cost is £8 to cover coaching and unlimited balls. PS The Driving Range tend to give accompanying adults a discount to use the facilities.
‘Handicaps’ a flexible approach will be applied to the handicapping system for beginners, with the emphasis being on a fair and friendly approach that allows some element of competitiveness.
As players develop their skills, they will be afforded the opportunity to achieve an officially recognised handicap, which will allow them access to official competitions at the Club and other locations.
