SCONE JUNIOR GOLF ACADEMY
The Scone Golf Club Junior Golf Academy has been set up to foster the game of golf amongst school aged children from the Upper Hunter area.
Our program involves weekly coaching from our Golf Members, focusing on areas of technique, on-course play and golfing etiquette, as well as the key ingredient to any sport – fun!
We believe that golf should be enjoyed at all times, and we try to make it fun for all kids no matter their level of expertise. As one parent has commented “I have always liked the encouraging manner in which you have taught golf, and they take it as an enjoyable pastime rather than being too hard on themselves.”
The program is open to all school age children.
