The TOUR group meet up at 2.00pm for the hour lesson, from next year it may be followed by a 9 hole competition. There are lots of trophies to play for and an overall order of merit/player of the year.

What is it ? 

The Junior Golf Passport is the national learning programme for young people, it includes a series of achievable targets and about the rules and etiquette of golf. The emphasis is on having fun while learning, it is a comprehensive, progressive, structured programme designed to help young people learn about playing the game of golf. The programme encourages and motivates beginners through the achievement of attainment targets combined with rewards and the most important element - FUN!

How does it work ?

The programme covers the five core elements of the game: Putting, Short Game, Long Game, Playing and the Golfers Code. For each of these levels there are a series of targets that get professively more challenging, the passport provides each child with a record of achievement as they develop their skills and knowledge.

Whilst the aim is to progress through the levels, an individual's progress in any of the core elements need not to be held back. For example, if a child is a particularly good putter he/she could progress through the putting module and could be rewarded using the stickers. A certificate would be awarded on completion of a level.

On completion of ALL levels a player will have completed his/her Junior Golf Passport and will receive a certificate.
