Following qualifying events around the country the English Golf Union and English Women’s Golf Association hosted the 2009 National Skills Challenge Final on 12th September at the National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa.
In spite of hot weather 26 junior players demonstrated determination across a wide range of skills and completed a range of challenges on Woodhall Spa’s magnificent short game area, normally used to train the England national teams, and the 20 bay driving range.
The players, aged between 6 and 17 years old, qualified for the final though three Challenge events held at their clubs throughout the year. Over 440 golf clubs are currently registered to run the 10 fun coaching activities for their junior players based on putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play and the long game.
In the afternoon the players received coaching from Alison Johns and Scott Emery, Woodhall Spa PGA Professionals, developing both their short and long game skills and to finalise the activities, Dean Davis (Hinksey Heights Golf Club) performed an entertaining trick shot show with several competitors, Challenge Organisers and parents taking part.
