City of York Council is teaming up with Heworth Golf Club to banish the half-term holiday boredom with junior golf lessons for children aged 16 and under.

New four-day courses are being put on at the club from Monday 29 October to Thursday 1 November, following the success of the junior golf lessons that took place earlier on in the year.

Each course consists of four hour-long sessions, with one for 6-11 year olds starting 10.30 to 11.30am and another for 12-16 year olds, from 12noon to 1pm. It will cost £15 per course and this includes an hour of expert tuition from a club professional, as well as equipment hire.

The new coaching sessions are designed to be a fun way for children to get exercise, develop new skills and make new friends.

The game is a great way for children to get exercise as one game can include up to four kilometres of walking around the course, whilst also helping to improve fitness, strength and flexibility.

The classes are available for both boys and girls, so get out, get active and aim for that birdy this Autumn!

Places are limited to eight per session.
