Coaching

The Surrey Ladies' County Golf Association aims to promote and develop golf for women and girls across the county. Over the last few years the coaching programme that the SLCGA has provided has focused on improving the standard of golf across the county, particularly for junior players. The aims of the programme are to help players increase their skills in all areas of the game whilst having lots of fun along the way. Please find below our player pathway, which shows the typical progression for junior golfers.
