La Grande Mare is launching a new Junior Golf Academy, offering young islanders the opportunity to discover the game, develop their skills and build a lifelong passion for golf.
The new programme will welcome children aged five to 13, providing expert coaching in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment at La Grande Mare’s state-of-the-art Golf Performance Centre from 14 November to 19 December.
The Academy will be led by Nic Bell, Golf Operations Manager and PGA Trainee/Assistant Professional, who brings extensive experience of delivering similar junior golf programmes in the UK and Dubai.
Mr Bell said: “We’re incredibly excited to launch our new Junior Golf Academy and create opportunities for the next generation of islanders to discover everything the game has to offer.
“Golf has such a strong following in Guernsey, and we want to build on that enthusiasm by inspiring young players, developing their skills and giving them the confidence to progress.
“Whether they’re complete beginners or already showing a flair for the game, our aim is to create a welcoming and enjoyable environment where every child can learn, improve and, most importantly, have fun. Who knows, we might even inspire a future champion!”
With a maximum coaching ratio of 8:1, every young golfer will benefit from personalised, expert guidance, with an emphasis on etiquette, enjoyment and learning.
Sessions are available for children aged five to eight from 13:00 to 14:00, and those aged nine to 13 from 14:00 to 15:00, at a cost of £15 per session.
