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.
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. |
