BCGA School Golf program

Physically

Physically golf is a sport that develops important motor and coordination skills from an early age. It requires and develops balance, coordination, power and flexibility. These skills all benefit children with long-term health and performance in all sports.

Mentally

Golf is a technically and mentally demanding sport. Improving in golf requires developing concentration and dedication to overcoming the challenges encountered when playing the game. As an individual sport, golf requires and develops confidence and the ability to cope with and perform under pressure. When playing golf you learn to be able to bounce back from disappointments and cope with both success and failure. Research has shown children who develop these skills through sport can transfer them into other areas of their lives.

Socially

Socially golf clubs are safe, well-managed, well-maintained and will provide your child with a place they can go to be independent, meet friends and be active. Golf teaches honesty, etiquette and respect for tradition; it is truly a sport you can play for life. Unlike more physically rigorous sports, golf is played at all ages. Golf is also a great way to establish a social network – a lifelong benefit of the game - particularly when moving for university, a new job, etc.
