West Hove Golf Club - Tuition from The Darren Cook Golf Academy

You have a ‘slice’. Most of us golfers do! So you aim left but then find you hit a straight one! Sounds familiar? Well, why not treat yourself to a golf lesson to learn how to cope with your problem.

Our PGA professional staff are here to help you perform better and hopefully this will allow you to enjoy this wonderful game still further.

GolfMark Award As previously explained on our Welcome page, in August 2006 West Hove Golf Club achieved the prestigious GolfMark Award - (integrating Clubmark).

What is GolfMark?

This is a national scheme that identifies and recognises junior and beginner friendly golf facilities and one of the three areas assessed was coaching.

At West Hove, considerable emphasis is placed on coaching juniors and especially girls as they were very poorly represented. As a result of links with local schools, sports development officers and leisure centres, the Club recruited a number of new junior members having received coaching from our PGA staff.

Practice Putting Green The Club now has 5 volunteers from the Ladies Section who work as a team to help support and encourage the new junior girls.

In addition, a buddy/mentor scheme is in place, operated by the older and more experienced junior golfers, to help new juniors integrate into the Junior Section.
