School Sport Unit and Jack Newton Junior Golf Partnership
 
SCHOOL GOLF PROGRAM

The Department of Education and JNJG have formed a partnership to offer teachers and students a great opportunity to experience the sport of golf – the sport that lasts a lifetime!
 
The School Golf Program is designed for students in Years 3-8.
 
We will design a program to suit your school or district!
 

  • Teacher training – a permanent resource in your school
  • The course is recognised by the Institute of Teachers
  • Easy to implement skills (if you can swing a softball bat you can teach golf)
  • Full lesson notes provided for teachers in putting, chipping and full swing
  • Fun and enjoyable activities for students and teachers
  • Website for teacher support
  • Golf equipment provided free to district/learning community (optional – can be purchased for $950)
