10,000 Junior golfers coached through the EGU & ELGA
coaching grant aid scheme
The forms have now all been collated for Year 5 of the English
Golf Union & English Ladies’ Golf Association’s
Junior Club Coaching Grant Aid scheme (1st April 2003 –
31st March 2004). The EGU and ELGA are pleased to announce
that over 10,000 juniors have received coaching, of which
16% were junior girls – the highest figure to date in
the programme.
Throughout the year junior golfers at affiliated golf clubs
have participated in a series of coaching sessions with a
qualified PGA Professional, helping to develop their skills
and maintain their interest in the game.
Year 6 (1st April 2004 – 31st March 2005) of this initiative
is now well underway with many golf clubs taking advantage
of the £125 grant aid to enhance their junior coaching
programmes. Any golf clubs that have not yet applied are urged
to do so, as only limited funding is available – once
applied golf clubs have until 31st March 2005 to complete
the coaching sessions and claim the grant aid.
Further details and an application form for the coaching
grant can be found at www.ecomallbiz.com/iwm17/juniorcoaching

The Junior Club Coaching Grant is just one of several initiatives
aimed at developing junior golf within England through the
England Junior Golf Partnership.
