Seeking Volunteers to Assist with Junior Golf
The Junior golf programme will kick off again on Friday 14
February 2020 (from 3.30pm to 5pm) and run through to the end of daylight
saving. We have some volunteers helping
but could use more.Alan Curie will
provide coaching alternate weeks and the juniors will get out on the course the
weeks he isn't there.ARE YOU ABLE TO
HELP? If you can help (even if not every
week) please call Mark Duston or Stewart Thomspon (numbers in the programme
book).
Junior golfers are the future of our club and will keep the
game alive and well.
We are looking for a minimum of five volunteers to join
theManawatu-Wanganui Golf, in
partnership with NZ Golf, programme to assist clubs with Junior programme
development with the intention of making junior golf programmes at clubs
sustainable. We want to be part of that
programme which will result in:
- NZ Golf
to provide each participant club a SNAG Golf Kit to the value of $5,000.
- Each
participant club having a minimum of 5 volunteers trained to deliver junior
sessions at the clubs. Training will be
conducted by NZ Golf and Rhys Watkins.
- Once
training complete a 5 week training programme to be delivered to young golfers
new to the game.
- Clubs
will be provided with $50 per session (this could be used to provide vouchers
to volunteer coaches for their time, otherwise for the club to do as they
please).
- The
Futures club kit to be provided to each club which has resources on running a
session – particularly games to include in the sessions.
- Once
programme is complete, we will work with each club to help with resources to
maintain a sustainable programme with the trained volunteers to lead.
Each club needs to identify the 5 volunteers to take part in
the training.
We have been approached by a couple of schools wanting to
integrate in their school programme which we have had to turn away at this
time. Once we have completed the
programme we may be able to help them out and will have some awesome resources
to encourage juniors into the game.
