21/9/2011 In the aftermath of the success in qualifying for the club championships it would be remiss of me to not backtrack to the Junior Coaching clinic on Friday just gone at the club.

The interest by the students and the fun they had with golf shows what can be achieved and the real future of golf that is there to be developed. Of course there are ...
