Primary children introduced to golf

A not for profit sporting organisation has connected Woy Woy primary school children with senior golfers in their community through a free golf skills day.

Jack Newton Junior Golf organised the day with Woy Woy South Public School and the Everglades Country Club on June 29.

Mr Jack Steed of John Newton Junior Golf said the day was a success.

"The children got to learn all about golf etiquette and interact with senior members of their community while driving, putting and chipping the ball across the green," Mr Steed said.

Mr Steed, who grew up on the Peninsula, said the point of the golf day was to show a younger generation that golf is a great sport to keep active and engaged with the community no matter your age.

"Jack Newton Junior Golf is a non-profit organisation whose primary objective is to introduce more young people to the game of golf, thus providing them with essential life skills, an alternative option of physical activity and most importantly enjoyment.

"We deliver golf to boys and girls under 18 all across NSW and so far we have introduced the sport of golf to over 250 students at Central Coast schools.

"For many, it was their first time picking up a golf club or going to a golf course and the fact that so many kids enjoyed themselves enough to inquire about the Junior Golf Clinics at Everglades is fantastic to see," Mr Steed said.

The Club's Junior Clinics will run on Monday's and Thursday's and provide a full introduction to the sport of golf.

Places are limited and must be booked through Everglades Country Club.
