The Far West Academy of Sport squad, Western District Development Golf Squad, 2 juniors from Mudgee and 1 from Wellington attended a coaching weekend at Wellington on the 12th and 13th of March 2011. The 9 juniors were under the watchful eye of Golf Professional, Eddie Emerson and JNJG Country Development Officer, Sharon Nott.
On Saturday the 2 girls and 7 boys were coached in all aspects of the game and Eddie caught their swings on his camera so they received a swing analysis report at the end of the weekend. A late afternoon 9 hole game allowed the players to fine tune the skills they had worked on during the day. On Sunday the team went through fitness drills on the caravan park lawns and then they went back onto the course to play against the Western Region Academy of Sport Golf Squad. The nine hole match play allowed the juniors to gain some competition experience with lower markers.
A special thanks to Wellington Golf Club and their Manager, Allen for providing lunch on both days and allowing us to access their course and another big thanks to all the parents/aunties who travelled with the team from Nyngan, Nevertire, Warren and Mudgee.
