Windlesham Golf Club runs a Junior Golf Academy, providing intensive coaching fromPGA qualified golf professionals to keen young golfers. It not only teaches young golfers how to play but also stimulates all aspects of their personal development, fostering a tremendous enthusiasm and long-term commitment to the sport.
The Academy operates an outreach programme to local schools to encourage their pupils to join in and learn to enjoy the glories of golf. Each year, the most talented of the young golfers at the Academy win Scholarships that are funded by the members of Windlesham Golf Club.
Michael Gove, MP for Surrey Heath, was invited to present these Scholarship prizes to this year’s Windlesham Junior Golf Academy champions, namely Charlie Peffers, Sarah Wilmore, Sam Storey and Dominic Hall.
Michael said:
“I am hugely impressed by the skills shown by these marvellously talented and dedicated young golfers, and by their hard work in achieving such success. I’m delighted to have had the opportunity to present such superbly generous scholarships to these young people, and am pretty sure that we shall see them in their Pringle sweaters holing out on Championship courses in the future.”
