THE CHURSTON JUNIOR GOLF ACADEMY
Welcome to the Churston Golf Club Junior Golf Academy - the home of fun, inclusive, and structured junior golf coaching.
Led by PGA Professional Rich C, our programme helps young players build confidence, develop skills, and fall in love with the game—whatever their starting point.
Let's get the next generation of golfers inspired to play a sport they can carry through life.
ABOUT OUR JUNIOR COACHING
At RC Golf Coaching, we believe that learning golf should be simple, engaging, and rewarding.
Our junior coaching sessions blend games, challenges, and structured learning, so every child can progress at their own pace while having fun with friends
Each session is designed to:
-
Build co-ordination, focus, and confidence
-
Develop real golf skills through simple, game-based learning
-
Encourage teamwork, sportsmanship, and self-belief
-
Measurable progress marked with badges and certification
Above all, golf should be fun and encourage life skills that will last forever
