Both have been achieved with some fabulous success stories at club, county, and national levels. Our Saturday and Sunday classes run for a 4-week rolling programme. These allow us to coach all aspects of the game along with organising fun competitive events. Our one-day junior camps have been a phenomenal success, providing a fun, safe learning environment for all attending juniors. Since the introduction of our Par Academy, we have seen a significant rise in junior golfers developing their skills, obtaining handicaps, and indeed enjoying regular competition within their own club.
During our ongoing PAR Academy programme, we introduce students to our swing catalyst and biomechanics technology. This, coupled with our Trackman and GC QUAD, their understanding of ball flight laws and data to help improve is developed well beyond their years. For students finishing mainstream education, we have seen a steady increase in the EASTON COLLEGE programme. This is run for young golfers wanting to continue their education and associated interest in Golf. The programme is a two-year course. full details can be found on the par college academy page. The opportunity to represent the County has been grasped too by a handful of dedicated players. If you have interest in any aspect of our programme, please get in touch with us.
