Junior coaching with PGA Professional Tyler Allsopp will commence on Tuesday 16th April at 5:15pm.
The coaching sessions will cover a different aspect each week breaking down each golfing component making the skills easier to learn and making it more fun and diverse as each session is different. The aim of the sessions is to progress the children through our new break 36 initiative, monthly gradings will take place so please keep an eye out for the grading dates. Further information on this can be found on the junior notice board at the club.

The cost for the sessions is £10 for members and £15 for non-members. You are able to book as many sessions as you wish, payment is required on booking. Please contact Tyler 0737 606 4087 to book your space.
We would kindly ask all Parents not to attend the sessions with your children, this is to ensure a safe environment for all the other children during the session and minimise disruption, we also operate the coaching sessions in a small space, so to keep a safe distance for the children. We can provide a safe space at a distance for a parent to observe their child’s first session so they can see how they are conducted. We appreciate your cooperation with this. The clubhouse will be available for food and drink if you would like to stay at the club, or you are welcome to drop off and collect at 7:00pm.
These sessions will be in groups of 4-8 Juniors, with a minimum of 3 juniors required per session for it to go ahead, the sessions will run in all weathers so please ensure your child has appropriate clothing and a water bottle. If the session drops to the minimum of 3 juniors or less the session will become 45 minutes, please confirm lesson duration at drop off to confirm pick up time.
Any Junior that attends the sessions will be offered Preferential one to one lessons with Tyler at a discounted rate of £17.50 for a 45 minute session.
Our goal is to provide to the members a golf course for play all year round. Clearly, this is not always possible due to adverse conditions, particularly during the winter months.
As Directors we have a duty of care to members and must take Health and Safety into account.
We will now operate a system whereby we will not close the course.
To enable us to do this we must ask members and guests to take additional care if playing in adverse conditions.
This includes:
- Wearing spiked golf shoes
- Having adequate insurance cover
- Taking extra care on sloping areas of the course
These are our recommendations, we will not be policing players
We will continue with the current Fog Policy:
Looking from the drive as it crosses the 10th hole, if you cannot see the 10th green then it is too foggy to play and therefore dangerous. Play is suspended until visibility improves.
Please refer to our Policy on the use of golf buggies and Winter buggy information.
Trolleys are allowed but in adverse weather conditions please carry if you can (this is subject to any special notices).
