Tudor Park hopes to
encourage more children to
take up the sport and to nurture
keen golfers. For the first time
in its history, the club now has
a junior golf team which will
be competing in local matches
when the golfing season gets
into full swing.
“Golf is a fantastic sport for
young children – it gets them
out in the fresh air, helps with
coordination, and teaches
them how to be team players,”
says Tudor Park golf
professional, Robin McGarr.
“Plus, we make it good fun with
plenty of competitions and
games.”
Tudor Park is recognised as
one of the most family friendly
golf clubs in Kent. It holds
England GolfMark status,
which recognises clubs that
make an outstanding and
innovative contribution to junior and beginner golf. It was also one of the
first golf clubs in the county to install purple-coloured academy junior tees
on all 18 holes of its championship golf course.
