Following the
Junior Golf Day at East Berks in October 2013, three more young
golfers will receive scholarships from the Foundation, which
includes a week's academy coaching with Paul Cook in the Algarve in
February 2014. The three, James Duffy, Chip Butler, and Alex
Bucknerwill be accompanied by a parent and enjoy the facilities
offered by this 5 star resort. This will include 3 hours coaching
each day, together with a round of golf daily, and full use of the
practice ranges including unlimited range balls.
Congratulations to
all three of you.
The Foundation has
now sent 8 young golfers to the Algarve, and helped a further 12
with lessons and equipment.
We will continue to
support as many young people as possible over the coming
years.
The first 2
recipients, Bella and Josh, have continued to make huge progress,
with Bella receiving a 7 year scholarship from Wentworth, and
currently playing off a handicap of 9(Initially 24).
Josh has now joined
Donnington Grove and is now part of their first team playing off a
handicap of 5, having come to the first junior golf day off a
handicap of 18.
Both Bella and Josh
are great ambassadors for the Foundation.
Following their
week in the Algarve in February 2013, James and Daniel have
improved their golf and made significant progress, having received
ongoing support from the Foundation since their return from the
Algarve in February.
