Junior Golf Lessons
Ian has a particular interest in Junior golf. Over the past ten years, membership numbers have been falling and the age profile of golf clubs has been on the rise so it is imperative that we encourage the youth to start playing golf.
With this in mind, Ian has coached the YMG (Young Masters Golf) and the JGI (Junior Golf Ireland) programs to over three hundred children in the Limerick area (at The Golf Academy in Limerick County golf club) as well as over one hundred children in the Nenagh area. Consequently, junior membership has risen in all the golf clubs in Limerick and in Nenagh Golf club.
With the GUI and the ILGU, he coached the Munster junior regional panels.
Ian believes that juniors are the lifeblood of every golf club. They are the future captain/lady captains, the future members of club teams, the future Padraig Harrington’s and the future of the sport in this country. Therefore it is very important that they receive the right coaching not just in how to play the game but also being taught the etiquette and the rules, which are equally important.
