The new training programmes will not replace  any individual coaching the girls already access;
rather offer additional support and enhance the provision.

We will be looking to work in collaboration with ‘home coaches’ and have regular communication around the county delivery and content covered.
The 2023 season will also begin with a Women& Girls Squad Training Day at Woodhall Spa Golf Club on Friday 14th April 2023.

This will provide an excellent celebration of women and girls' golf in the county, led by our County Coaches.
