Juniors at St. Melyd

Juniors


Welcome to the Junior Section of St. Melyd Golf Club.

HOW THE JUNIOR SECTION WORKS?

The club has a Junior Organiser, who is supported by the Junior Committee. They work to organise competitions and events and work in conjunction with the Head Professional, Robin Hughes , who is a fully qualified PGA coach, to provide opportunities for coaching.

HOW MANY JUNIOR MEMBERS ARE THERE AT THE CLUB?

At the present time (August 2023) we have over 60 Boys and Girls in the Junior Section. Each year we have a new Junior Captain who will represent the club and all our Juniors throughout the year.

Junior membership is available to boys and girls from the early age of 5. Our aim is to provide all our Juniors with a safe, positive and friendly environment to develop their game at their own pace. We always endeavour to create opportunities for young people of all ages.

We have worked hard to produce a Junior Section that we can be proud of and St. Melyd Golf Club is recognised within the region as a Club that looks after their young golfers.

WHAT FACILITIES ARE THERE?

First and foremost we have an 9 hole Parkland Golf Course but having 18 tees, it provides a different perspective for each hole.

 This year we were proud to host the Wales Golf Festival, a memorable week for St. Melyd.

In addition to our spectacular course we have:

  • Practice Ground
  • Practice Bunkers
  • Practice Putting Green
  • Practice Chipping Area
  • Practice Net


All our Juniors have full access to the above practice areas.

JUNIOR COACHING AND COMPETITIONS

Junior coaching sessions take place on Friday evenings with our PGA qualified Professional being supported by the Junior Organisers.

The Junior Section arranges a variety of Junior Competitions and Matches throughout the year, to cater for Juniors of all ages and abilities. For the younger Juniors, or those new to the game, we have the 'Fun Five' hole Competitions which shorten the course length, removing some of the hazards normally in play off the Tee but still allowing play from fairways and into the Greens. Most weeks there is an 18 hole Stableford or Medal competition, which run from March through to November. We then run a 9 Hole Winter League fortnightly from November through to March.

There is also an opportunity to represent the Junior Team in the 'GolfSixes' a Golf foundation initiative run in partnership with Wales Golf to provide Junior beginner golfers who have no handicap or 37 and above, giving the Juniors the opportunity to play in other clubs around the local area.


Junior tee bookings can be made through the website or via BRS.
