Tee Time for Juniors: Youth Golf Coaching and Development in Harrogate

Golf offers so much for young people and has so many health benefits. There are the obvious physical benefits such as: stimulating the heart, burning calories, getting lots of fresh air and improving overall physical fitness. But also the mental and social benefits: improving communication skills, boosting self esteem and confidence as well as helping reduce stress and anxiety.

With the Grooves Golf Junior coaching programme, golf is more accessible for younger players than ever.

Join one of our PGA Coaches in a 30 minute coaching session. Includes balls, equipment if needed and video analysis where appropriate.

Safety and Welfare

Safety is always at the forefront of our sessions, with an emphasis on both physical and mental wellbeing.

Bridging the need for development and improvement with the desire to make our junior golf coaching as fun and engaging as possible, sessions are segmented into tuition, practical learning, and games. We aim to bring the basics of golf into every session and every game we play, matching each group with the right equipment to keep them safe.
