Summer Junior Golf Coaching Camp a Swinging Success at Castlereagh Hills and Aberdelghy Golf Courses

Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council’s popular ‘Summer in the City’ Programme returned this year with its usual jam-packed offering across the Lisburn and Castlereagh area.

The ‘Summer in the City’ Programme provides over 2,500 places on summer schemes, swim camps and sports courses, including the Junior Golf Coaching Camps held at Castlereagh Hills and Aberdelghy Golf Courses.

Delivered by PGA Professional at Castlereagh Hills and Aberdelghy Golf Courses, Wesley Ramsey, the Golf Coaching Camps are suitable for boys and girls aged 7 – 16 years.

Visiting week one of the Junior Golf Coaching Camp at Castlereagh Hills Golf Course, Chair of Leisure and Community Wellbeing, Councillor Thomas Beckett said, “The council recognises the valuable role the ‘Summer in the City’ programme plays in supporting parents and carers over the long summer months.  Sports courses such as the Junior Golf Coaching Camps offer children the chance to get outside, get active and meet new friends whilst potentially trying the sport of golf for the first ever time. Avid golfers are also welcome to keep up their golfing skills as the coaching is delivered in a tailored way to suit all individuals.  Having gained a merited reputation, Castlereagh Hills continues to be a popular 18-hole golf course in the Lisburn Castlereagh area and I hope these young people are inspired to continue the sport.”

PGA Professional Wesley Ramsay continued, “Golfing enthusiasts aged 7 – 16 years can get involved in our Golf Coaching Camps at Castlereagh Hills Golf Course and Aberdelghy Golf Course. The camps are ideal for both beginners and experienced players.  All sessions will be enjoyable for the kids as I coach through a games based learning and practice approach.  You can expect to learn the basics such as how to hold a golf club and hit the golf ball plus lots more.”

A programme of summer schemes and other sports courses are delivered across the council area and allow children to experience a new sport or progress their interest in a specific area such as goal keeping and Gaelic football.  Swim camps take place at Lagan Valley LeisurePlex and cater from Baby Bubbles to Junior Level, which is an excellent opportunity to accelerate through the lessons programme.

Summer Scheme venues within the ‘Summer in the City’ programme include Dundonald International Ice Bowl, Lagan Valley LeisurePlex, Glenmore Activity Centre, Grove Activity Centre, Lough Moss Leisure Centre and Ballybeen Sports Hub.

Spaces remain on the next Junior Golf Coaching Camps which will take place on 14th – 18th August at both Castlereagh Hills and Aberdelghy Golf Courses.
