Kent Golf ran a beginner’s taster session at Chestfield GC, with Alex Blown, PGA Pro, leading the group. It was a successful day, we managed to dodge most of the heavy showers in between putting, chipping and then hitting longer shots on the range. The session was followed by squash and delicious chocolate cake in the club’s trophy room.
A few of the boys were very interested in booking onto Alex’s regular monthly Kent Academy.
Further two mixed junior Taster Sessions were held at Tudor Park over the October half-term weeks, aimed at those who had never played before or had very limited experience. Run by PGA Pro Chris Pearson, over 16 boys and girls attended across the two days, with the opportunity to try their hands on the driving range, chipping area and practice green facilities. Along with a few competitive challenges, all attendees thoroughly enjoyed themselves and left keen to return another time.
More taster sessions are planned for the school holidays next year, so watch this space and share with anyone who may like to try golf out for the first time!
