Templemore Golf Club Junior Coaching.

Junior members have never been more important to the future of golf.  Similarly, never before have juniors had more variety and opportunity in terms of alternative activities, all competing to occupy their spare time and attract their talent. These factors present a challenge for golf to offer and encourage young people to start and stay in this great game.  Templemore golf club has a very competitive membership, this can be identified with all the recent victories in senior and junior competitions therefore it is important to have Junior Cadet Coaching in progress to secure future competitive membership.  Summer Cadet training is on Mondays at 10am to 11am followed by Beginner Ladies Coaching.   To be involved call into the club at the coaching time or contact our Juvenile Liaison Officer Pat O’Connel 087-9205821 by text.
