As explained in the letter overleaf there are a choice of different venues where your child can attend their ClubGolf coaching programme. The Melville Golf Centreprogramme will be delivered by their fully qualified PGA or assistant professionals at their facility. The price takes into account the instruction from the PGA professionals, who have completed a 4 year degree qualification or are going through this course at the moment. This option is therefore more expensive than that of the other clubs who verysuccessfully utilise trained volunteer coaches in their ClubGolf programmes. Both are equipped with the skills to provide stage 1 coaching however the PGA professionals have a greater indepth knowledge of coaching having studied and qualified at a higher standard. Broomieknowe GC also utilise support from a PGA professional in a limited number of the sessions throughout their programme.
