Junior Youth Club - A new venture at PGC Academy 

Last Friday saw our first Junior Youth Club take place at the Academy. This idea was proposed by our junior organiser Charles Webb. In attendance last week were 9 of our junior members who took part in games, tuition, skills tests, putting challenge and a golf quiz. It was a FUN night and enjoyed by all. 

We would like to extend the invitation to all our junior members, any children/grand children and friends of members who may want to join in and become part of our junior section. This is an open house for young keen golfers and a great opportunity for new juniors to interact with our junior section. We are running this each Friday up to Christmas between 6.30pm and 8.30pm. 

Please contact Andrew 01772700022 if you would like to register an attendee.



James Milligan PGA Assistant Trainee has almost completed his first 6 weeks as JDP Coach and he is doing a great job. The current timetable of sessions can be seen below 

Monday 5-6pm & 6-7pm 
Wednesday 4-5pm 
Saturday 11-12 noon 

Costs - £30 for 6 weeks (for range based sessions, 50 balls must be purchased at a cost of £2.00) 

We are looking into ways of growing the programme once again and our first port of call is you, the members. Do you have children, grandchildren or friends who have attended the JDP previously? Would they like to get into golf again? Then please pop into the pro shop or give us a call to discuss re introducing their pathway to golf.
