What! Golf at school? How do you do that without a golf course, somebody not getting hurt or property getting damaged? This is a common question asked by many teachers.

 
The Jack Newton Junior Golf has designed a program that utilises modified equipment such as tennis balls, golf softie balls, hitting mats and other sporting equipment to conduct activities and games aimed at introducing kids to the basics skills and concepts of playing the game of golf. Ideally the sessions are conducted on a school oval, but school halls, gymnasiums or even classrooms can be used as well.
 
JNJG will provide all equipment necessary to run the sessions and all JNJG accredited coaches are fully insured and have completed all relevant paperwork and child protection checks.
 

JNJG has two programs aimed at introducing kids to the “Game of a Lifetime”!
