Introduction
Here at Walsall Golf Club we are very proud of our junior section which is made up of boys and girls over a variety of age ranges from 5 to 17. We believe that Walsall Golf Club is a great place for any junior golfer to develop, whether joining as a total beginner or an experienced golfer. The junior section is in the early stages of development and is receiving great support from the rest of the club and the Regional England Golf & Golf Foundation Team. We welcome and encourage juniors of all abilities as we have a firm belief that golf should be focussed on enjoyment and friendship. Alongside our successful programmes of development we are particularly proud of the number and variety of junior competitions we offer our juniors each year
Our junior section is a great place to learn, have fun and make lifelong friendships.
Junior Committee and Junior Captain
Run by a dedicated and enthusiastic Junior Organiser, Emma White, and supported by Head Professional Adam Bryant. We provide a safe and fun environment for juniors to learn and progress to their full potential, whilst equipping them with golfing and life skills which they will hopefully use and enjoy for the rest of their lives.
Complementing the Junior Organiser, we also have the prestigious role of Junior Captain, who represents the section and has a vital role in supporting all juniors to reach their golfing goals.
Juniors Wellbeing
We take our juniors’ safety and wellbeing very seriously and hold the England Golf and nationally recognised SafeGolf accreditation. All members of the junior committee are DBS checked and attend regular Child Safeguarding courses.
What do we offer our juniors?
At Walsall Golf Club we think it’s important that juniors not only learn the great game but also have fun and build friendships. As such, there is a range of activities for juniors to get involved in.
We offer the England Golf developed ‘Girls Golf Rocks’ and ‘Golf Rookies’ coaching sessions for complete beginners to the game. For our junior members, we hold junior evenings on Wednesdays and Fridays and a weekly informal junior competition/ on course playing experience every Saturday from 2.30pm with competitions/ sessions to suit different abilities, for both handicapped and non-handicapped juniors.
Facilities
We use green junior tees or a shortened course for our younger and less experienced juniors over either 3. 9 or all 18 holes. This allows each junior to play from a tee that suits their ability with a chance to make pars and birdies.
There are also great practice and teaching facilities to help juniors to improve their game. We have both a covered and outdoor 3 bay driving range, practice putting green, and practice chipping green, alongside an indoor simulator for individual coaching lessons.
Anyone interested in finding out more about what we do can attend a free taster session to experience what we have to offer.
