Coaching
Juniors

The juniors are split into four sections.
Beginners have coaching on Saturday lunch times from 12- 12.45 p.m. These sessions are taken on the short game practice area. Once a certain standard is achieved they move up to level two.
Level two coaching is on Saturdays from 12.45 – 1.45 p.m. These sessions are taken on the main practice ground where the focus is on developing the long game. Both level one and level two have regular fun competitions. The next stage is moving up to the Improvers.
The Improvers section meet from 6 p.m.to 8 p.m. on Monday evenings - coaching is from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. After the coaching they are taken out on the course and are taught etiquette and rules whilst experiencing the game of golf. Once able to play nine holes from the blue tees handicap cards can be organised.
Our handicap golfers have coaching and competitions on Monday evenings between 6 p.m. to 8.p.m.
There is coaching on Monday mornings during school holidays with afternoon competitions for our handicapped golfers.
We have a junior team playing in the HHUGDC league.
The cost for coaching is £3.50 per session. Junior membership is £25 per annum.

Women on Par

What is a Women on Par event?
In short, it is a tried and tested 9 hole event. It features a novel scoring system, using a challenge scorecard, to help beginners learn the basic rules and etiquette of the game. Instead of counting shots, the scorecard outlines challenges for players to undertake, for example hitting the green or getting out of the bunker in one.

There are two levels of challenge scorecard, so events can cater for beginners and those who have played a little.

Women on Par helps new golfers develop as players. It’s also great fun and a good way to get newcomers involved with the club and its social life.
