We all know our classic after school activities but have you ever considered golf for your little learners?

MyGolf is a fun junior program supported by Golf Australia and run at golf courses throughout Melbourne led by PGA Professionals or a licensed Community Instructor. Mamma and her two took the opportunity to check out the after school program at Gardiner’s Run in Chirnside Park and had a great session out on the warm-up greens. Mamma’s 5 and 8 year old had a ball learning essential golf skills including correct hand grip, chipping actions and target practice.

It’s a great activity for all kids, but especially those who thrive on individual pursuits with the added bonus of working in groups at times and games to consolidate skills. Some activities were challenging at first but when the ball finally goes the way you want it - it is super rewarding. Plus there is plenty of guidance from community instructors along the way. Golf is one of the most picturesque of all the sports to supervise, so the parents will enjoy it just as much!

Sessions usually run for 45 minutes to an hour and clubs can provide all the equipment or you can choose to add on the MyGolf Participant pack when registering which sets up the kids with GolPhin GFK 7 Iron, and two lightweight, safe to use and easy to hit balls. You can find all the venues, times and costs at the MyGolf Website - registering online is super easy.
