Development Group
Boys and girls aged 10–14. Some previous golf experience is preferred. A free trial is available, or I may recommend a short one-to-one session to help a newer player get quickly up to speed.
Fun, structured weekly groups for boys and girls — from complete beginners to developing young golfers.
Three weekly groups · From age 5 · Free trial available
Children don’t just need to be shown how to play.
They need a reason to keep wanting to play.
Sessions run throughout the year, including school holidays, but there is no obligation to attend every week. Their current focus, learning and progress are kept up to date in their private hub, so their coaching remains joined up whenever they attend.
Free trials are available. No experience is necessary for the Tuesday or Wednesday groups.

Games with a purpose.
Skills they can understand.
Challenges they want to complete.
Friends to learn alongside.
Success they can see and celebrate.
And a coach who knows every child is different.
Golf teaches far more than technique. With the right support, children learn patience, resilience, independence and how good it feels to improve at something they enjoy.
Every session is enjoyable, but there is a bigger plan behind it. Children develop the skills they need to play golf, learn how to practise and gradually become more confident on and around the course.
The coaching adapts to their age, experience and personality. They are never rushed and they are never treated as one of the crowd.
The aim isn’t to produce identical swings or rush children through levels. It is to help each young golfer enjoy learning, recognise progress and want to discover what comes next.
A private coaching hub designed for young golfers and their parents.
Children will be able to see what they are working on, celebrate completed skills and discover their next challenge. Parents have a clear view of progress and useful information, while all the complicated coaching tools stay in the background.
Most children join an age-appropriate weekly group. The structure gives them continuity, while the sessions themselves stay varied, active and fun.

Not sure which group is right? Send me your child’s age and any previous experience and I’ll recommend the best place to start.
A regular place in their chosen group, with the freedom to attend when they can.
This secures your child’s place in their chosen group and includes access to their private online coaching hub.
Sessions run throughout the year, including school holidays, but there is no obligation to attend every week. Their current focus, learning and progress are kept up to date in their private hub, so their coaching remains joined up whenever they attend.
Tell me their age, any golf experience they already have and what you hope they will get from coaching. I’ll recommend the most suitable group or first step.
You don’t need to choose a programme or know which group is right. Tell me your child’s age and any experience they have, and I’ll recommend the best place to begin.
I get to know the golfer in front of me — what motivates them, how they learn and when they need encouragement or a new challenge.
Sessions remain playful, but the games and activities are chosen to develop genuine golfing skills over time.
You can understand what your child is learning and how their confidence, independence and golf are developing.
I’ve coached children of every age and ability, from complete beginners taking their first swings to experienced juniors developing their games.
My first job is to make them feel welcome.
Then we can help them flourish.
I lead the junior coaching at Churston Golf Club and believe the best junior programmes combine fun, structure, encouragement and just the right amount of challenge.
Tell me a little about your child and I’ll help you find the right place to start.
