Coaching options for junior golfers
To cultivate our future golfing talent we will be offering exciting golf coaching options for junior golfers, in 2022.
Firstly, a little more about the benefits of learning to play golf from a young age:
- Enjoy the outdoors – get them off the couch and active outdoors, doing a sport with a low risk of injury
- Develop lifelong friendships – learn to interact away from screens!
- Learn to manage emotions
- Learn good sportsmanship and etiquette
- An excellent way to spend time with the family

From beginner juniors to advanced level we have structured and professionally run group courses and individual lessons.

“Parent & Junior” Trophy:
This is an annual event where parents and children team up. Please contact golf@randpark.co.za for more details.
Junior League:
We currently have 2 league sides consisting of 8 players per side. The teams participate in an interclub league throughout the year. Each side has a representative manager who will compile the results and also keep an eye on the youngsters. The role is normally filled by a parent of one of the players. We strongly encourage parents to volunteer to manage and assist the teams as it is seen as a way to support the development of the players involved.
These players are selected on a few criteria such as results in the Junior Club Championships, junior competitions and participation in the club events. Visibility and activity are key areas for evaluation and selection.
Please contact the Golf Department at golf@randpark.co.za for more information on the “Parent & Junior” Trophy or Junior League.
