Leadbetter Junior Coaching
Qualified PGA Professional Leah Roelich is based at Bletchingley GC and is in charge of all junior coaching. Leah provides several programmes and opportunities for young juniors and as of this year was selected to become a main Leadbetter Kids Golf Coach and Centre in Surrey.
Starting on 19th September 2020 the main Leadbetter Kids Coaching Programme will be launched. This involves regular weekly classes during the school term and golf camps throughout the holidays.
However, a big part of the Leadbetter Kids and Leah’s vision is to provide a stepping stone for juniors to keep progressing their game and journey into golf by encouraging them to get out onto the golf course and play. To help make this vision happen, together we have come up with a wonderful incentive call to be launched on 1st September 2021.
This incentive combines all year-round development and performance coaching as well as access to the main course and practice facilities. We are one of few clubs in Surrey that provides this type of programme as we feel it is a great way of transitioning the juniors from ‘just’ coaching sessions to also being able to play on the course safely and effectively.
The Leadbetter Coaching Session
The main coaching sessions throughout the year will cover all areas of the game and have been designed to develop the juniors; technique, fitness and life learning skills to be able to play on the course and long term potentially gain a handicap and enter competitions. A huge part of the on-course learning will involve upping the knowledge of golf rules and etiquette on and off the course.
Furthermore, there is potential for juniors to progress to external Surrey County coaching as Leah herself is Lead Coach for the U15 Girls Squad and Steve Furlonger (who is also based at Bletchingley GC) is the head assistant coach for the U16 boys squad. If juniors progress well and gain a great level of trust Leah and Steve can put forward any juniors who they deem eligible for County coaching.
