Juniors Golf at Bishopswood

What is on offer for Juniors at Bishopswood?

1. Golfmark Accreditation
   Bishopswood is Golfmark accredited untill end of 2019. This accreditation shows that checks have been carried out on all personnel involved in coaching children and that high levels of welfare are maintained as laid down by England Golf.  Very few local clubs have this accreditation.
2. Welcome Meeitng
   When your child joins Bishopswood they will have a welcome meeting with the Junior Organiser.  This enables us to understand what aspirations they have and gets them started on the road to achievement.
3. Competitions
   Friendly junior competitions take place so that players can obtain a handicap. Juniors with a CONGU handicap can play in all club medals and Stableford competitions as age is not a restriction.
4. League Matches
   Bishopswood is a member of the local junior league and play against 7 other clubs from April through to October.
5. Tuition & Coaching
   Juniors are offered regular coaching with our PGA Golf Professional, Steve Ward. The fee is discounted and the Golf Club contribute 50% of the fees charged; lessons are provided all year round and typically will cost around £3.  Juniors are referred for county coaching when their performance reaches a level that our Professional feels justifies this action.
6. News and Events
   Juniors are kept up to date with news and events via the notice boards and our website; there is a dedicated section for juniors. Parents are kept up to date via emails.
7. Benefits
   As a member, juniors will be issued with a club membership card which allows them to purchase refreshments at discounted rates from the Pro Shop and the Clubhouse.
8. Dedicated Staff
   Bishopswood has a dedicated junior organiser to represent this section at committment levels and a dedicated Welfare Officer. The latter is a requirement of the Golfmark accreditation.

Our clubhouse facilities are open to everyone. The Balcony Bar and Sands Lounge are two great places to have a late breakfast, coffee & cake, lunch and evening meals or you can just enjoy a drink on the balcony overlooking the golf course.  We have a social membership which will allow you to enjoy a 10% discount on food, beverage and ticketed events if this is of interest.
