Development Squads

Junior Development Squads

Each year, U19 players from across the region may apply to join our Development Squads.  Successful applicants get to spend quality time in small groups with a PGA Professional, developing their skills.  All Squads also get together for some time on the course, demonstrating what they have learned.

Thank you to the 2019 coaches from across the region, Gary Parkinson, Jenna Gainford, Sam Parsons and Ben Guilford.

Intermediate Development Squads

Our PGA Coaches recommend players from their Junior Development Squads to step up to the next level.   This group is headed by our PGA Coach Adviser, Jacques Nortje.  Many of the players will also be working with their own coaches at this level, but these additional development sessions include instruction in all facets needed for an aspiring elite player, including tactical, technical, physical, mental, professional and personal aspects.

Not all members of the Development Squads necessarily wish to become professional golfers, so this Programme is there to help players with the tools they need to achieve their desired level of golf.
