“We have been doing this for quite some time now, approximately over five years. The main objective of this clinic is to introduce something new and introduce young children to the game. We first educate them with the basics, and when they are ready, we take them into the course” he said.
“It will cover instruction in six basic golf skills areas, which include driving, fairway irons, pitching, chipping, sand traps and putting. The general instruction on stroke and technique include courtesy, etiquette, care of the course and how to use the rule book.
“We usually get numbers ranging from 20 to 30, but we can accommodate more than that. We usually divide them into groups, depending with their age groups and how fast they learn. We want to produce future stars for this country through this,” he said.
