FALDO SERIES COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING ENGLAND GOLF BEGINNERS
SCHEME
The number of golf clubs signed up to offer ‘Free’
Golf Coaching taster sessions in 2006 has reached an all-time
high of 250, with applications still coming in.
England Golf is delighted with this success and if any golf
clubs want to take part there is still the opportunity to
do so and claim £200 grant aid.
It is not only England Golf that has welcomed the success
of this beginners’ scheme, however. Nick Faldo has once
again recognised the important role of this grass roots initiative
and is supporting the Free Golf Coaching campaign in 2006
through the Faldo Series.
The Faldo Series was set up in 1996 to help identify and
nurture the next generation of champions. Through the Faldo
Series, boys and girls are able to experience top-level competition
at championship courses and also benefit through golf related
seminars.
Commenting on the Free Golf Coaching scheme, Nick Faldo said
“It is a pleasure to support such a beginner friendly
scheme through my Faldo Series as encouraging people into
golf is vital for the growth of the game”.
Richard Flint, Golf Development Manager commented, “Free
Golf Coaching is not just an important initiative to encourage
new golfers and members; it also helps to support golf clubs,
by creating healthier and successful facilities”.
For information on which golf clubs have already signed up
to the campaign visit www.getintgolf.org
Any golf clubs wishing to hold taster sessions and receive
£200 grant aid can find out further information on www.englishgolfunion.org

The Free Golf Coaching funding is an initiative jointly provided
by the English Golf Union and English Ladies Golf Association
via the England Golf’s ‘Whole Sport Plan’
for golf.
