YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU

Junior Golf Development

Dear Members

Are you keen to help grow the Club and give your support to grow the Scrabo Golf Club Junior Golf Development Programme.

In the past few years, for various reasons our Junior Programme has not actively developed the fun side of golf for our juniors so much so that we only have an active 19 junior members who paid their subscriptions in 2022. Albeit that we have an additional 41 juniors on our database that we simply cannot ignore but we need to offer the junior section a range of events which entices them back to be involved. 

We need to do more and we need to offer the juniors an interest that not only develops their game but creates the opportunity to meet other junior golfers, partake in relevant fun coaching, and who want to be here to play in competitions and/or meet new friends, in addition to being actively supported by the Club. On a more structured basis we do require a PGA Golf Professional to provide tuition and group coaching with the juniors and we are actively seeking a PGA Professional who will assist with all of these elements.

Scrabo Golf Club have also linked with Victoria Primary School, Newtownards to host a school parent / child fun day on the 17th June 2022. The links to the school will also result in volunteers running fun activity sessions at the school to raise the awareness of golf and more importantly golf as a fun event. In addition, the volunteers will be actively involved in coaching sessions at the Club and managing junior competitions based upon structured tee times.

This is where we need your help to become an active enthusiastic Junior Volunteer to assist with all aspects of junior development. In return the Club will offer education on best practices in protecting the welfare of children through Junior Golf Ireland. All volunteers working with juniors will be trained in safeguarding techniques level 1 & 2. All volunteers will be processed through Accessed NI approval.

Please contact either of the below to register your interest and we will be in contact with further details and/or email your contact details to: admin@scrabogc.co.uk. Please reply by Wednesday 27th April 2022.

Thank you in anticipation.
