Junior Golf
Alexandra Golf Club is committed to providing a facility for
school age and junior players in our area to learn and enjoy the
game of golf. This is one of the few sports that you can take
up at an early age and still be playing well into later life when
other sports are beyond your capabilities. Investing some time in
coaching at an early age provides a sound basis for that later
enjoyment.
Golf is a great game to play and it also helps to develop some
key life skills in young people. It requires discipline,
concentration, practice, self control and resilience. We certainly
don't suggest that junior players only play golf, it should become
part of their skillset and the sports they choose to play, a part
that can help them in their other sports.
Coaching is available each year at no charge from an experienced
ex professional coach and, for beginners, practice clubs and balls
are available at no charge from the Sub Par golf shop. Watch this
website and the local newspapers and school newsletters for
coaching adverts.
Junior golf days - Sunday mornings from
9.30am
Junior members ($20 per annum or $50 for all children in one
family) can also play at any time on the course or the practice
facilities when there are no senior club days or events in
progress. Evenings are a great time for a few holes of golf and a
bit of exercise with Mum and Dad!! Non member parents accompanying
juniors around the course in the evenings may also practice at no
charge.
Always check in at the Sub Par golf shop before playing or
practising so we are aware that you are on the course.
