Wee Wonders CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL JEFFRIES Following

leadership course that qualifies individuals to organise and supervise golf
activity sessions for beginners. The PGA are beginning to launch a new Coaching scheme and therefore the existing Junior Golf Leader's award is currently being revamped. We will update you with the dates for the next set of Junior Golf Leader courses as soon as is possible. Keep checking the website or call us

Over 250,000 people attend the Show over four days and hundreds of children were given an opportunity to have a go at Tri-Golf. They could also have a go at real golf thanks to the presence of the PGA Bryant Homes Roadshow (pictured in the background). HRH Prince Edward visited the golf arena on the Wednesday of the show and was impressed at the efforts to get more children (especially girls) interested in the game. We are hoping to secure the services of the PGA Bryant Homes Roadshow again next year – so if you know of any potentially suitable events then please let us know and we can discuss the possibility with the PGA team.
