On both days you will be able to see some top golf. Our Juniors are a very talented bunch.
375 and Counting…
The Dunlop Starter Centre Initiative has reached new heights this month, with the number of Dunlop Starter Centres hitting the 375 mark; a fantastic achievement for the Golf Foundation who’s main aim is to promote and develop junior golf across the British Isles. Dunlop’s sponsorship of the Starter Centre Network, coupled with a successful Sportsmatch application, has enabled the Golf Foundation to reach the significant landmark of 375 Dunlop Starter Centres across the British Isles, with 20 new Starter Centres being identified this month following Dunlop and Sportsmatch’s investment.
Golf Conditioning – the latest thing
Golfers of the World want to be the best they can – they want to reach their full potential - and its the perfect game for anyone, tall or short, thin or ‘well built’, old or young, to have fun or compete …only we all want better shots. ‘So what’s the answer’ I hear you say. Do you buy the latest clubs? Do you have more lessons? Or do you practice more? All of these certainly will help but, and it s a big ‘but’, a person plays the game not the club. If we are not conditioned to play the game, how can we expect to play a fantastic game?

Choosing a Gym by Jason Zeil
When choosing a gym there are certain facilities and qualities you need to consider. As a junior it is important that you are treated accordingly. That’s not to say that you’re handled like a kid, just that your body is developing rapidly which should be an important factor of exercise programming. Ideally to get the supervision, clubs that offer memberships are better suited. These may also have a student fee that includes fitness assessments, exercise programmes with ongoing support and unlimited use. This fee should be flexible to a certain degree due to term time commitments and holidays.
