I have recently taken over the coaching of the Junior Group classes at
Collingtree Park. This is a great honour and a responsibility I take
very seriously. The chance to help children develop a love for the
game, and to help them establish good basic skills is a fantastic
opportunity, and coaching young golfers is something I really enjoy.
Safety is a key concern when coaching anyone, but especially children.
At the start of every lesson we emphasise that staying safe is the most
important part of everyone enjoying the lesson. I have have completed
the UK Sports Coaching Child Protection Course, and have a full CRB
check.
From a technical point of view, the objectives are the same when
coaching children are the same as when coaching anyone. If the young
golfer can get a good grasp of the basics, of the grip, of the posture
and of balance and rotation, then they will soon be hitting fantastic
golf shots and enjoying all the fun and challenges that the game has to
offer.
In the group lessons we focus very much on the basics, in
a way which makes the learning fun and exciting. Once the basic skills
have been acquired, we cover all areas of the game including basic golf
fitness and body awareness, the setup and golf swing, the short game,
putting, and then taking it all into a game situation.
I will
be running Junior classes throughout the year. If you would like your
child to get involved, whether or not they have ever played the game
before then please get in touch either by calling 07976 401 545, or via
the Contact Page.
