Junior Golf

The Junior Golf Academy

Our Junior Golf Academy offers Junior Golfers aged 5 upwards a fantastic opportunity to start their golfing journey and learn the game. The academy forms a clear pathway to learn to play golf, make new friends and provides great opportunities to gain experience of golf, learn about rules and etiquette and assists in becoming junior members of the club. Our emphasis is playing more golf, recording more scores, and ultimately having more fun.

We have classes available Saturday and Sunday during the school terms with our PGA Professionals delivering a structured programme to ensure a fun and elementary introduction to golf while developing through technical instruction through games-based learning.

During the school holidays we run camps on a variety of days. These are fun days for all levels aimed at developing solid fundamentals, as well as covering topics such as chipping tips and tricks, how to hole every putt, playing on the course and mini competitions. For more information please contact our Professional Team and we would be delighted to help.

SafeGolf 

In summer 2022, Roehampton Club was awarded the SafeGolf national golf accreditation for safeguarding and this was renewed in 2024.

The SafeGolf is a partnership of UK golf bodies committed to promoting a safe and positive environment for all those participating, working and volunteering in the sport of golf.

The SafeGolf partnership consists of members from the golfing bodies across Great Britain and Ireland and has been established to help golf respond to the issue of child protection in sport. Its mission is to safeguard the welfare of children and young people, as well as adults at risk, in the sport of golf.

SafeGolf is firstly, a website – www.safegolf.org – through which anyone with a concern about the welfare of a player, or the behaviour or practice of a coach, volunteer, organiser, parent or a player, can contact the lead safeguarding officer at their national governing body.

Secondly, it is the safeguarding standard England Golf will promote to all their affiliated clubs to ensure all clubs provide a safe and positive experience to children and young people whilst playing golf. The PGA are also using the standards to apply to all their PGA professional Coaches.
