Swing a club at Atherton
A FREE come and try day featuring a professional PGA coach will be held this Sunday from 8.30am-10.30am at the Atherton Golf Club for junior players.
The session will introduce kids, aged five-17 years, to the basics of the game and will be delivered by PGA of Australia Professional coach Luke Newman and Atherton Golf Club’s Tom McEwan.
There will be a number of junior club sets available for use, requiring attendees to only have to bring a hat, water bottle and sunscreen.
The junior golf season is played from February to November with practice sessions each Wednesday and Thursday and competitions on Sunday mornings.
Additionally, the club will be offering a Junior Girls Scholarship Program to girls aged nine-16 years.
The scholarship program, funded by the Australian Golf Foundation, aims to create greater opportunities for young girls in golf.
The program provides them with coaching, junior membership for one year, and a Golf Australia handicap.
