Junior Golf Academy

The Junior Golf Academy was first introduced to the Eastern Golf Club in late 2010 with the vision of attracting a new younger generation to the golf club. The Academy is a 8 week program designed to be an introduction to golf for young kids starting out in the game. It is now one of the fastest growing junior programs in Victoria and has around 40 participants each term, the program is fortunate to have Henry Griffitts Golf and Schweppes as sponsors in 2012 who provide each junior with a club/ hat / glove and drinks.

The 2012 Academy under the guidance of PGA Professional Sergio Abreu has been restructured to cater for all abilities - from first time beginners to those juniors getting closer to the elite level where more focus will be on course, shot shaping and tournament preparation. As well as catering for different levels and different ages we have also catered for those who weren't able to make the Saturday afternoon sessions.

The Academy is now beng held on Saturday morning and afternoonas well as Tuesday and Thurday after School. Next term begins on the 20th of April 2013.

Testimonials

Eastern's kids golf clinic is the highlight of our son Angus' week without a doubt. Serg is doing a great job, there is lots of variety from week to week, and most importantly the clinics are a great combination of learning and fun. Keep up the great work"

Tim & Sharon Bridgman

"Serge teaches with patience, humour and empathy. My special needs son has loved every minute of it"

Bernie Hickey

"Aren having just turned six, and having a limited exposure to golf, started the junior clinic at the start of this year 2012. At first making contact with the ball was a major celebration.

Under Sergio's patience and guidance Aren has, coming to the end of the first clinic, developed a very impressive technique in nearly all facets of the game. He now sometimes even hits the ball as he intended.Above all he couldn't wait for the next lesson to come around each week and has developed a love of the game. The 3 taps of the foot at the end of the swing, dropping the ball from the eye when putting to the "smile look at me, I'm a superstar" at the end of the swing really worked and made the lessons entertaining and memorable.

The structure of the lessons, each week covering a new facet of the game, with different exercises made it fun while genuinely teaching the skills and intricacies of the game. The size of the classes also meant Serge was able to give very personalised and patient guidance to every student.

In general, as the many different sports clinics I have been exposed too, this would have to be one of the best."

Thanks,

Ken Dosser
