PGA Academy Junior Camp

From 18th to 22nd July, the PGA Academy hosted the first of what we hope will be many Junior Golf Holiday Camps. The Camp started on the Monday morning bright and early with a mix of “Elite” and “Junior” players.

Our PGA professional coach and Director of Golf, Saleem Haji, was head coach for the 5 day camp and covered a variety of topics from swing mechanics to Ground Pressure, different types of putters and why they work for different styles. The group spent time in the gym to teach them about mobility as well as some strength related exercises particular to golf.

There were detailed sessions on putting, chipping, bunkers shots and as well as a deep focus on the long game. They played an initial 9 hole round of golf and again on the final day of camp to show how their performance had improved.

A game walk was organised as a treat at the end where they got to see the Ridge’s wildlife from oryx to giraffe, zebra, impala and so much more!

All participants thoroughly enjoyed their time on the Ridge and it was wonderful to have them here.
