GOLF IN SCHOOLS
Providing their first taste of golf
in safe and fun environments
Children's Golf Trust
The purpose of the Children’s Golf Trust is to advance participation in golf for all Primary School Children. Unless children experience golf at Primary School age, they are highly unlikely to take up the game.
The vast majority of schools do not have golf as part of the curriculum so the Children’s Golf Trust was formed to change this and to allow all children within Primary Schools the chance to try golf in a safe, fun environment and giving them their first taste of golf.
Their aim is to increase the participation of children playing golf and to provide a pathway from schools to possible membership at golf clubs.
To achieve this aim, they fund enthusiastic PGA Professionals to provide golf for all primary school children in their local community by:
- Delivering golf sessions in Primary Schools during curriculum time.
- Providing after-school golf sessions at the schools and golf clubs.
- Running fun golf festivals at schools, parks or golf clubs.
With funding provided by the Children’s Golf Trust many Primary School projects have now started. Between October 2019 and Easter 2020 the PGA Professionals will have delivered:
- 348 In-curriculum coaching sessions
- 64 After-School coaching sessions
