Eaton Golf Club has a thriving junior section and extends a warm welcome to you and all our junior members. Our 60 to 70 active juniors are supported by a team of club professionals and enthusiastic volunteers in all aspects of junior life and development.
At Eaton we arrange weekly graded junior coaching on Saturdays and Sundays and junior holiday camps during school holidays, these are arranged throughout the golf season. Also we arrange a junior winter programme of coaching and competitions. This year we have introduced an elite golf scholarship for a small group.
Eaton offer three levels of coaching.
Level 1 is all about fun and introducing the game of golf.
Level 2 is a move towards a more technical aspect and introducing the ability to adapt the club to the situation.
Level 3 is all about preparing them for club competitions and understanding all aspects of golf.
Each level covers :
Driving
Iron Play
Chipping
Putting
On Course
Etiquette
Some of the more advanced levels then go further into certain areas. During lessons throughout the year juniors will be assessed each week on their skills and will try to obtain a pass in all the areas in criteria to pass through to the next level.
