Junior
Golf
In
conjunction with the Golf Foundation, Brian Connor's House
of Golf has established a Junior Performance Academy at Manchester
Golf Club. With pupils as young as five, the PGA staff headed
by Professional Scott Connor (pictured right) and Assistant
Matt Hough work on a one-to-one basis with boys and girls
and also teach juniors in groups.
The
Junior Golf Passport which is promoted by the Golf Foundation
has proved to be a great motivation for the youngsters, as
it provides key skills for game improvement at a steady pace.
All areas of the game are worked on throughout the scheme
and using the Tri Golf scheme the House of Golf team has established
links with local schools.

Junior
Performance visit to the Ping Factory April 2009

House of Golf Professional
Scott Connor recently arranged a trip to the Ping factory in Gainsborough
with the help of Manchester Golf Club Junior Organiser Keith Hough
and member Steve Daynes, the group consisted of junior golfers who
are members at Manchester Golf Club or are taking part in lessons
with the Junior Performance Team.
Everyone
was treated to a tour of the Ping Factory, they learned how clubs
are assembled at the factory and about the importance that custom
fitting plays in game improvement.
Scott
tells us Ping laid out the red carpet for these young golfers
and gave them an insight into the golf industry that they will never
forget this trip was unique to House of Golf but it is an
experience that we would love to repeat in the future.
The juniors
were fantastic asking relevant questions and showing knowledge of
golf that is far beyond their years. Thank you Karsten UK!
