Inside the junior golf academy

Forty-two children now play on Saturday mornings. Three of them have handicaps under 18. We spent a morning with the coaches.

Club life

Start with fun

Children under eight play with soft balls and big targets. The first goal is to love hitting the ball, not to fix a grip.

Borrow before you buy

The academy lends junior clubs for the first year, so families do not spend money before they know their child enjoys it.

Play on the real course

From age ten, juniors play three holes with a coach on Saturday afternoons, learning etiquette as they go.

Scholarships

Six places a year go free to children from schools in Onitsha, chosen with their teachers. The club pays for lessons, clubs and transport.

What parents say

Most say the same thing: their child is calmer, more patient and spends less time on a screen. That is enough for us.
