Children try out Tri-Golf as part of new scheme


18/ 7/2008

HUNDREDS of youngsters will benefit from the Golf Roots launch which saw children from eight primary schools enjoy the thrills of Tri-golf at the Heaton Park Golf Centre.

The scheme is an exciting new partnership between the Golf Foundation, Heaton Park Golf Centre, Manchester Sports Development and the North Manchester School Sport Partnership which is funding an extensive golf development programme to give local youngsters a real chance to try golf.

The youngsters were given the opportunity to see the newly developed driving range, golf course and clubhouse. They also took part in the Primary Golf Festival, using the all-new Tri-golf equipment provided for each participating school.

Paul Schofield, partnership development manager, said: "Major funding for the Junior Academy has been provided by Golf Roots, and this has been supplemented by the partnership and big lottery.

"In addition, the Heaton Park Tigers Junior Golf Club has benefited from an Awards for All grant.

"The funding will enable teachers, sports leaders and coaches to be trained, and new clubs to be created in schools. It will also help the golf club to develop further links with schools."
