Junior Golf
North Wilts Golf Club is proud to have a strong youth section and has produced some fine young golfers in recent years. Much of this is down to the dedication and hard work of a few individuals at the club, who set aside some of their spare time to help coach and organise these enthusiastic youngsters. A more informative "Junior Section" is planned for this web site, but in the meantime, you may find the following information useful.
Saturday Morning Coaching
Open to All
Every Saturday morning, the practice ground at North Wilts is transformed into vibrant and incredibly youthful area when many local children attend our informal group coaching sessions. These sessions are divided into two sections, one for beginners and the other for the youngster who already has a grasp of the game. They are open to both members and non-members and cost just £3-00 per child per session. For this small fee, your child will be given an hours group tuition from our assistant pro, Barry Forster or an experienced senior member of the club. These sessions will serve as an introduction to the beginner in the hope of kindling further interest in the game at a young age and are fully endorsed by the English Golf Union and the Golf Foundation. For the more experienced player, the sessions will focus on different aspects of the game in a bid to improving that golfers ability and enjoyment.
There is no obligation to join the club or to have individual lessons after attending these events. They are a rolling program and anyone can join in at any time of the year.
Beginners sessions run from 10.15 to 11.15 and the improvers sessions run from 09.00 to 10.00 each Saturday.
