Winter Newsletter 2022 FINAL for WEB

B Section caters for juniors from nine to fourteen,
but the majority move into A Section quickly where
their aim is to become a Junior Championship
member.
Since Easter, our Mini’s had weekly sessions with
Professional, Ally McNaughton, supported by
Caitlin Boa, our Ladies 2022 Club Champion, and
David Diracles who is also our B Section
Coordinator.
Play and enjoyment is the focus for these younger
juniors and with non-golf related games including
tag, dodgeball etc. they have great fun. Ally sets fun
challenges after they practised the basics skills and
they also enjoyed a summer camp in July.
Many joined in adult/junior fun events to
experience competition.
The Minis have focussed on chipping, putting and
full swing throughout their basic skill sessions, with
a focus on making sure they get into a good set-up
position to give them the best chance of consistent
contact.
There has been a great uptake for the winter
coaching sessions which runs until Easter when the
summer programme starts. On bad weather days the
clubhouse is used with tennis balls hit into velcro
targets with team challenges and variety the theme.
Twenty two Wildcats had weekly sessions with
coaching shared between our Head Teaching Pro,
Gary Dingwall, and Ally. They played the Academy
Holes regularly in different formats which included
strokeplay, matchplay, texas scramble and one club
challenges.
