The Junior Coaching Academy is a fantastic fun activity for children as they not only learn the technique, but also life skills to transform complete beginners into junior golfers ready for regular play or membership of the Golf Club.

After learning the game in the Academy, we help juniors obtain a Handicap Index and then introduce them to competitions. Conor O’Grady is Head of Junior Academy Coaching and is driven to help Juniors get into golf and develop their game to become superstars of the future.
At weekends and during the school holidays there are always Junior Coaching Programmes and ‘Summer Camp’ and we are now linking up with a local 9-hole course to be able to offer lessons out on a golf course.
In 2019 Mid Herts Golf Club hosted the Herts Junior iTour as well as the Girls Championship & Boys Under 14 Championship. Our General Manager is the Club Welfare Officer whose role is to safeguard the welfare of children at the golf club and report any concerns.
As a Club we are also gaining accreditation to SafeGolf and working with England Golf and the Golf Foundation to offer The Junior National Passport, which is a structured learning programme for children aged 6-12, endorsed by the PGA.
