Information

Funding has been awarded from the Coalfield Regeneration Trust to develop the club by recruiting more female members and by sponsoring 12 local young girls to develop their skills as golfers, and hopefully take them into regional/national events.

Meetings have been held with Houghton Kepier, Hetton School and Easington Lane Community Access Point. Recently several young women attended from ELCAP to test their skills as potential golfers. Feedback from the group has been positive and consideration is currently being given to attending Harrogate Junior Golf competition in August.

Six girls from Easington Lane have been enrolled on a professional coaching programme and have been attending the golf club once a week. Their attendance has been steady and feedback really positive. It is hoped that after the programme is completed, two of the girls will move into Regional Competition level.
