Academy update Our junior section has been steadily growing over the last three years and we now have upwards of 30 members. Over the winter period we have been seeing 20 of them actively taking part in the Saturday morning coaching sessions which is amazing seeing the weather has been interesting to say the least. We are getting 10 or more of the older players taking part in the junior afternoon roll-ups with six gaining an adult handicap of 28 or less. We will be fielding a junior team this year starting with some friendly matches against some local clubs leading on to county run junior team events. Adam and I are in the middle of putting together a junior fixture list and re-introducing some of the traditional cups and competitions. This season we are trying to integrate some of the older juniors with the main body of the club and to start the ball rolling we have a four sections mini-competion on Saturday, 24 February. This will involve one player from each section of the club (Junior, ladies, mens and seniors) playing together in a four person team with two scores to count. You will find the entry sheet on display on the main noticeboard in foyer. Your support of this event will be much appreciated and will help each junior learn, grow and become future adult members.
