Kent Golf Approved Junior Academy at Pedham Place


Tim Milford, PGA Professional & Kent County Lead Coach

“I have been a PGA professional now for over 25 years and picked up my skills from my own coaching experiences with other professionals, playing at a high level both at amateur and professional and from coaching Kent Golf squads for the past 7 years.

I hope to add the elements for attendees to progress in to their age relevant squads.”


15 – 18 YEARS BOYS ACADEMY

This Academy is for boys aged 15 – 18 year old who are just below full squad standard to try and get them to the required level. Monthly sessions are held on Friday evenings encompassing many elements to help improve technique and scoring capabilities.

Kent Golf have identified this area, where young golfers can get lost once outside the boundaries of the squads so they strive to keep them on the radar as all golfers develop at different rates. Kent Golf are keen not to lose these players and keep them enjoying the sport they have dedicated so much time to.

We use TrackMan and the TopTracer launch monitors at Pedham for instant feedback. During the Spring and Summer these sessions are more course based targeting 'playing golf' rather than 'hitting a golf ball'.

Keiran Poole, PGA Professional

I studied Sports Science and Development Coaching at Bournemouth University before embarking on my professional golfing career studying for my PGA degree at Birmingham University. I am constantly studying to improve my knowledge of coaching, currently undertaking qualification in golf biomechanics. 

I have dedicated the past 15 years to coaching all levels of golfers, from players on the European Challenge Tour to total beginners. I am also currently a Kent County Approved Academy Coach.

I have experience in both traditional and modern techniques and teach using Trackman, Hack-motion and Video analysis to deliver quality coaching.


U14 BOYS ACADEMY

Keiran coaches a boys group of U14s, held monthly on a Wednesday evening and Saturday afternoon at Pedham Place Golf Centre. These sessions are aimed at improving performance and scoring capabilities of young keen golfers with the aim of getting them into the U14s or other County Squads.

These sessions will use Trackman and TopTracer to help identify and improve specific areas for development. The goal of these sessions is not to learn how just to swing the club and hit a ball but how to play golf. In the spring and summer season these sessions will be a lot more course based to aid playing and performance.


CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

  • You must have a handicap of 20 or less. Please be aware a lowest handicap ballot will take place if the sessions are over subscribed
  • An online Annual Junior Player Profile & Parental Consent Form must be submitted prior to attendance
