Under 12s

Purpose and Aim:

To give talented young golfers the opportunity to play competitive golf in a team environment and better their understanding of the game.

Our U12s age group consists of two squads, our U12 playing squad (aimed at boys with a handicap index of 24.0 and below) and our U12 development squad (aimed at boys with a handicap index of 36.0 and below).

Please note that these handicap index limits are for guidance only, with other selection criteria also being taken into account, such as away scores, events competed in, potential and attitude.

Training / Coaching:

Both of our U12 squads have six half day coaching sessions throughout the year, led by a Surrey Lead Coach, one support coach and two assistant coaches. The half day normally consists of training with some on course playing, all whilst being observed by the professionals. They also have a practice day for the U12s County Championship. All coaching is based around short game, putting, course strategy and mindset. These sessions also give the players the ability to team bond and make new friends.

Matches:

The U12s have three matches during the season:

• A triple match against Hampshire & Sussex
• Essex
• Hampshire (mixture of U12s / U13s / U14s)

Get Involved:

Boys aged 12 and below are encouraged to get involved in the very successful Rookie Tour events, as these are a great way for players to play competitive golf and show their ability. Please click  here to visit the Rookie Tour page on our website for more information. Please also note that the Rookie Tour events go up to the U14 age group.

If county golf is of interest, please contact the Surrey office for further details.
