CAPTAINS DAY TO JUNIORS

19^TH August 2018 Tee off 1pm

Mr Captain (John Phillips) is proud to be hosting the 2018 Captain’s Day to the Juniors.

Having spent the last two years working within the Junior Council alongside the Junior Organiser Ian Jones, I am delighted with the progress and development of our young golfers and with the commitment of our match assistant Mark Hanson, who as a single figure golfer himself imparts his knowledge to our young golfers.

All of our team are fully CRB cleared on an annual basis and along with this, their experience and dedication we can ensure our young golfers have safe and successful golfing experience.

The day is for all juniors from 2 holers through to the 18 hole competitors

Captains day to the Juniors is a major event with winner’s prize, and Runner up prize, nearest the pin along with a gift for all competitors.

Carl Cross our club professional has been hugely supportive throughout and is instrumental in guiding new young players through his Passport Programme and on to the 2 hole section.

We are always ready to welcome new young golfers and if you know of any friends who would like to give golf a try, bring them along to our regular Sunday Golf game.

Happy Golfing everyone and I will see you on Sunday 19^th August.

Mellor & Townscliffe Golf Club welcome all juniors of all age and ability. You will always be guaranteed a game either in a team or individual competitions.

There’s a dedicated junior committee and helpers to run and assist in a full term programme of golf, including competitions and coaching most weeks.

Mellor recognise the need to develop juniors at their pace and so there are several group programmes to encourage the juniors to progress through the stages. The groups are not age limited and so enable confidence to grow along with ability.

Junior Groups (weekly programme)
