The Leeds and District Union of Golf Clubs received the Lottery award as part of the Millennium Awards for All scheme. Nine other schools will be receiving four one-hour sessions from other PGA professionals and at the end of the course the schools will receive golf equipment so they can continue with the sport. As part of the project, we are trying to set up an under 11s junior club at both par three courses at Springmill Club in Ossett and at Hemsworth Park. Mr Wilford added that the Lottery award had enabled the union to introduce and develop the sport to many children who had not experienced it before. But they need volunteers to help with organising competitions.
Parents are welcome to come along, even if they know nothing about golf.
