Cirencester

Junior Coaching Scheme.

I believe golf can be enjoyed by all ages.  I started at 6 years of age, with that experience I believe the younger we can start the better! 

During the junior coaching sessions there are three things in which I ensure; 

1. Health and Safety  - To make sure the children are safe at all times

2. Enjoyment -  I believe that children learn more when they are having fun,  therefore I ensure all sessions are designed to challenge and motivate, whilst bringing the enjoyment factor.

3. Learn -  I pride myself in the knowledge that children are constantly improving on their skills, and are always eager to come back.

Golfers of all ages are welcome at Cirencester Golf Club.  At present there are over 50 children signed up to the teaching academy, that run on Saturdays and throughout the week during school holidays.   All Junior’s are grouped together in terms of age and ability. (age ranges from 4 - 14 years of age)    This is to ensure that within the lesson children feel happy and comfortable,  in the knowledge that they are grouped with children of similar capabilities.

Testimonials from Parents and Pupils

"Gareth is a nice man and he is good at Golf” (Miles, aged 8)

"Both my boys have been participating in Gareth’s junior coaching sessions. They really enjoy them and their golf has improved no end. My eldest son at 9 has now become a junior member and so can play on the 18-hole course with me. He still attends a weekly coaching session with Gareth and continues to improve in all aspects of his game". (Mike Burgess)

"More able sports pupils from Ann Edwards Primary School, South Cerney were warmly welcomed and actively encouraged by Gareth to participate in a 10 week Introduction to Golf Challenge.  Gareth immediately built up relationships with all pupils, who were engaged and enthusiastic to put into practice skills being taught.  Over the 10 weeks, pupils were eager to attend, practice outside of the sessions and discuss with other pupils back at school the skills being taught.  At the end of the 10 weeks, the pupils had experience and had exposure to a new sport, professional surroundings and thoroughly enjoyed this challenge.  I would highly recommend Gareth and all the other professionals at Cirencester Golf Club." (Mrs Joanne Campbell, Ann Edwards Primary School)

"Gareth is the best golf teacher I ever had, and the tallest too !!  Thank you so much for all the things I learnt from you. This has made me a better golfer, and even more importantly, a better boy and person". (Gabriel aged 12)  

"Gareth, my personal praise and gratitude for being much more than a super golf teacher, a truly inspirational mentor to children of all ages and backgrounds. Your dedication and charisma is unique and outstanding. Thank you" (Juan Ochoa, Gabriels Dad)
