Written Plan

 

To attract and promote the development of Juniors. This plan is managed by various committees. i.e Junior committee-? Men?s Committee-? Board.

 

This plan covers the following;

To promote the development of Junior Programme coaches. Without these volunteers the Junior Coaching Programme would not work. Volunteers include members, parents, and grand parents of the Juniors. These volunteers may not necessarily play golf or know anything about the game. They will go on a 5 hour free course with a trained golf coach who can explain how the level 1 coaching manual works. We strongly recommend anyone who is serious about their child?s golfing future to attend one of these courses. To registrar contact the office.

 

$100.00 will be deducted from your child?s subscription, or your subscription, if you volunteer to become a coach.
