IN-SCHOOL COACHING - “PLAY GOLF”.
Each group of children at participating schools gets an introduction to golf for one hour per week over a three week period.
The programme is called “play golf”. Once the children have completed the three weeks of coaching they receive a “play golf” certificate.
The “play golf” logo embodies the spirit of the game as it should appeal to children – fun, exciting, challenging!
On weekends all the children who have had the introduction to golf are offered the opportunity to come to the golf course by bus for further coaching.
Each group spends one hour with a golf instructor.
Summer school holidays
During the summer holidays the weekend programme is extended into a weekday programme.
JUNIOR HANDICAP CONCEPT
The Junior Handicap is introduced. This handicap is unofficial and monitored by the Bulgarian Golf Association and will start at 54. This will give the child a measureable level and allow his or her progress to be monitored.
Once the child has achieved sufficient skill he or she will be handicapped properly on the handicap system of the golf club they are members.
