On Saturday 10th May the Eastlake Golf Club Junior Program was launched with eight kids turning up for the first of the seven-week program. The kids ranged from five to eleven years old and everyone had a great time.
The trainee pro, James Perkinson, ran the kids through some warm up games, which had the kids loosening up their muscles in preparation for some golf fun! James then took them through the basic setup, which included the grip and stance, and then the kids learnt the technique of a pitch shot. Lots of games were played to help the kids show off their pitching skills and it looks like there is some real talent amongst these new junior cadet golfers.
The program will continue for the next six weeks and will see the kids learning skills such as putting, chipping, full swing and even a few rules and etiquette lessons as well. The program will finish off with a fun day where parents and kids will get to show off their golfing skills by playing a few holes of ambrose!
