Junior Fact Sheet

Tickenham Tigers
Junior group classes are held throughout the year during term time, under the Golf Foundation passport Scheme. All our PGA Professionals take juniors as young as 4, both on the driving range and the course to learn all aspects of the game. This has proved very popular. Please complete a registration form to add your name to the waiting list!

Holiday School
Concentrated tuition on a ¾ day basis during school holidays. Forms are handed to all Tigers and available from reception.

Beginners Competitions
From time to time during school holidays we hold huge Junior Competitions for all the Tigers.  Ability on these days is unimportant because we have 3, 6 and 9 hole competitions. Parents and Professionals supervise and assist. All Tigers are encouraged to play.

School Group Tuition

Lessons are held for several local Junior and Secondary Schools.  They are either part of the School day or an after School club.  The same format detailed above in the Junior Group Tuition is used.

FREE Tuition
Please check the Tuition page to read the Free tuition details.

Junior Membership

Tots play free!
To complement the changes we made at the start of the season, we are trying a further concession.  Children under 7 may now play free, providing, they are playing with a member or a green fee paying adult and they carry their own bag with at least an iron and a putter.  They may start each hole from the red tee markers or the start of the fairways and tee the ball up for every shot until they reach the green if required! The only restriction is they can't play before 12 on Saturdays.

You need to be under 18 or under 25 at the start of the membership year on the 1st March.  Additional joining fees when changing categories or on reaching the age of 18 or 25 will not apply, unless you have been a member for less than a full membership year.  Members joining during the year pay part of the annual fees on a pro rata basis.

Handicaps
All under 7's, under 18's and under 25's have the same benefits as adult members. They may gain official CONGU handicaps which are valid worldwide. Before reaching this standard under 7's and under 18's may gain club handicaps up to 54 to enable play in our club competitions.

Competitions
A full competition calendar is available to all members, which of course includes all under 7's, under 18's and under 25's.  Please check the Calendar page.
And finally, if you have a question, please phone 01275 856626 or call in and ask one of our PGA Professionals.

11th Anniversary of the Scholarship Awards, with Owner & PGA Fellow Professional Andrew Sutcliffe and special guest Myles Angel presenting the awards to Lucas Hayles, Henry Finch and Joshua Owen.  Well done to you all.  Myles started his golf whilst at junior school taking classes through the schools link with Tickenham Golf Club and has continued to take lessons at Tickenham.  He now plays off 1 handicap and has represented Somerset as a junior and continues to represent the county at adult level.  He gave an inspirational speech to the next generation of junior golfers.

FANTASTIC SUCCESS Junior Open Day
We had 90-100 juniors attend on Monday 7th April between 3-5pm.  There was a queue along the driveway to the road to get in!  We gave them all free balls and clubs to use on the range.  We ran a Long Driving and Pitching competition and 50 of them entered.  Prizes were given in age groups u6, u8, u10 etc.  We gave free tea and coffee to Mums and Dads.  Thank you to everyone who attended and we look forward to seeing you again.
