Barry Sears, a member of the Golf Development Committee, has been continuing to work on the above project.
Barry and Jo Tandy, Assistant Manager at Faversham Golf Club, have rolled out golf taster sessions to 230 children over 3 days (of which over 100 are girls) in 2 local schools. One of which they worked with years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (aged 7 – 11). 1 ½ hour lessons using Golfway equipment supplied by the Golf Foundation. At the other school they also provided ½ hour sessions for Reception class and Year 1 (youngest children were just 4 years old).
They have already had positive outcomes with 2 children joining Faversham Golf Club.
In Barry's words: The smiles, laughter and delight in the eyes of the participants begs the question ‘can we do more?'
