the best in the area. The Junior Section is open to

As a Golf Club we are extremely proud of our Junior
Section and all it has achieved, we have a long
history of producing some of the area’s finest
golfers, below are two of our more recent notable
successes;

2006), now competing in his third year on the
European Tour; Mathew learnt his trade through our
junior section from an early age here at Ashton.

2011 and North Region English Women’s Golf Champion

training with one of England Golf Squads, Louisa

As more and more Junior Members join our club this
trend is set to continue into the future. The junior
organisers ensure that there is an active programme
of events throughout the year, in addition to
internal club competitions there is the opportunity
to gain experience by representing the club in
external competitions and matches. Juniors are
actively encouraged to participate in all events.

Coaching
Junior coaching is provided by our assistant
professional Michael Boyle. We have regular training
sessions for both experienced and new golfers
throughout the summer months. For those wishing to
progress the game further and would like individual
tuition, Michael is always happy to discuss
individual training sessions at a competitive rate.
