The Junior Golf Passport is the national structured learning programme for children aged 6-14 years, endorsed by the PGA. The multi-layered programme progresses a complete novice golfer into a junior golfer ready for membership at our golf club. The programme has 3 key levels: START, LEARN and PLAY.
The START level is all about fun and an elementary introduction to golf.
The LEARN level is a move towards technical instruction through games-based learning, always with the emphasis on fun.
The PLAY level teaches children to apply their learning to the golf course, preparing them for Silkstone Golf Club junior academy membership and competition.
Junior Golf Passport Courses are scheduled in 8 week blocks on Saturday mornings during April - June & September - October.
