Junior Golf Update
The temperature is rising, the nights are drawing out, the course is in good shape and I hope you are getting time on the course to practice.

Here’s an update on a few junior golfing matters to whet your appetite:

Parental Consent Forms – if you want to participate in any of the organised activities we must have completed signed parental consent forms. These are in the junior handbook, available at the club house or you can email me and I will send you one

Summer Coaching – We have been able to secure £300 of funding for free junior member coaching during the summer holidays. This will be in groups of 4 or 6 and tailored to your experience levels. Beginners will be on the range and the practice greens, with handicap golfers getting time on the course (or the long and short game tuition if you prefer). Altogether we have been able to accommodate over 100 hourly sessions. I will communicate full details at the end of June on how to book and dates / times

Friday Night Course Experience Sessions – In another 3 weeks or so we aim to start the on course familiarisation for beginners. Our “senior” juniors will host newer golfers on the course giving tips on etiquette and coaching. This is a turn up at 6pm and join in event. You may use the session to submit Club Handicap cards

Club handicaps – check out your junior handbook for instructions on how to get one of these. They are a great introduction to handicap golfing for those not quite up to getting a full CONGU 28 handicap yet

Lost Property – I’ve got a good selection of caps, club head covers, some shoes in various sizes and some wedges if you’ve lost one! All lost property is given to the juniors for fund raising so it may be worth a try

Second Hand Equipment – If you would like to advertise on the junior board or sell equipment you have grown out of let me know. I have 2 sets of clubs for juniors in fair second hand condition. Meridian irons, woods and putter for 7 – 9 year olds and Ping Moxie irons, woods and putter for 8-11 year olds. Both come with bags. Let me know if you are interested.

Finally on the competition front it’s a mixed bag – a win in the K Smith Trophy at home to Richmond Park to get through to round 2, and a loss at home to the Norfolk in the Bass Trophy (league). We have a relatively small squad this year to chose from so if you are interested in representing the club and have a full handicap put your name down. Also for the CONGU handicappers don’t forget on 28 May it’s the Bawburgh Open. Make home advantage pay and get your entry in to Chris Ingram sharp!

If there is any help or assistance you need with your golfing then please do let me know. Best wishes
