• Understanding of a person’s golfing journey and your role in making this a good experience.

Who is this course for?

If one or more of these statements sounds like you then the course is for you:

• You’re new to helping out with activities for new golfers.

• You would like to get involved with supporting activity.

• You’re a parent or guardian who would like to help out in the right way.

• You’re a young volunteer, junior captain/vice-captain and would like to help your peers enjoy golf.

• You’re an existing volunteer who lacks the confidence to actively support the PGA Coach at your club.

• After attending a Young Leaders or Buddy Workshop, you are looking for the next stage of training.

You don’t need lots of golf knowledge or experience to attend, just a willingness to ‘help out’ at your club.

This course probably isn’t for you if you have been effectively supporting activity for a couple of years or more and know what you’re doing.
