Our Professional Robert Ellis uses the Junior Golf Passport; the national learning programme for young people in Scotland, Wales and England.  It includes a series of achievable targets and explains about the rules and etiquette of golf.  The emphasis is on having fun while learning.  It is a comprehensive, progressive, structured programme designed to help young people learn about playing the game of golf. The programme encourages and motivates beginners through the achievement of attainment targets combined with rewards and the most important element – FUN! 

Golf is a regular activity for many children and young people and its influence on their lives is significant. Newark Golf Club recognises that every child and young person has the right to have fun, be safe and free from harm when participating in organised golfing activities.
