clubgolf stage 1

Stage 1 is a two-year course comprising 20 hours of coaching in each year and participating children will expect to develop their basic golfing skills. Golf skills taught in year 1 include putting, chipping and the full swing. Their training also equips them with a fundamental understanding of the game including rules
and etiquette, and they will learn a code of conduct that will ensure their golfing experience is safe and fun. Year 2 builds on the skills learned in year 1, with
pitching and bunker play added to the programme.

The clubgolf Junior Golf Passport has been designed to reflect the skills
taught up to clubgolf Stage 1, and is an excellent resource for children
participating in this stage of the programme.
