Sundays starting at 3pm 21st April 2019

/>The DNGC Junior structure has 5 ability levels: PARS, BIRDIES, EAGLES, CADETS, JUNIORS. The EAGLES and CADETS are supervised by approved volunteers to help them transition from the practice area to the main course and obtain a local DNGC handicap, after which unaccompanied golf can be played on the full course.


Golfers will be able to:
1. play 5, 7 or more short holes on the main course from the blue tees
2. utilise all the skills learned in the earlier golf development stages
3. learn hazard recovery shots, basic course management, golf safety and good golf etiquette
4. learn how to keep their own score card and mark a card for another player
5. submit signed score cards to obtain a local DNGC handicap

The DNGC Junior structure has 5 ability levels: PARS, BIRDIES, EAGLES, CADETS, JUNIORS. The PARS and BIRDIES are coached as part of the national ClubGolf initiative www.clubgolfscotland.com

ClubGolf is the entry level stage for children to learn how to play golf. It is open to all children and no DNGC membership is required.

All equipment (clubs, balls, tees etc) can be provided, so it is easy for children to start playing golf.

The cost is £3 per hour long session / child (non-members of DNGC) and £2 for DNGC members. ClubGolf is run by Level 1 PGA approved coaches.

Children will be taught how to:
1. hold the club
2. make a putting stroke
3. play a chip shot
4. play a pitch shot
5. play a full shot
6. understand basic rules of golf, to enable them to play golf on a full course

The aim of ClubGolf is for children to:
1. enjoy their initial experience of golf
2. be able to play on the course, safely and with confidence
3. be sufficiently competent to obtain a local DNGC golf handicap

Sessions are held on:
– Sunday at 5pm to 6pm
– Sunday at 6pm to 7pm
