This week saw the start of a new Club at Hamilton Grammar School. Myself and fellow teachers Mr Arthur (The Golden Teddy Bear) and Mr McGowan (Eagle Eye Putt Putt) taking 10 pupils to the local driving range.
hopefully after the New Year we will have a regular slot every two weeks alternating between two groups. We are looking to organise coaching for the pupils, but as yet we consider the cost a bit too pricey.
we have also investigated the possibility of taking them on a foreign trip to play golf as it was intended - in the sunshine! we have also been in contact with some other local coaching schools about some 1 and 2 day courses.
hopefully this year we will have a better team to complete at the South Lanarkshire School's Golf Festival with a new breed of youngsters.
Is there a new Tiger amongst our new Hamilton Grammar Golf Team? Perhaps not - only because none of the kids have a Hollywood name, which we are hopefully going to remedy in the next few weeks.
all the pupils were exceptionally well behaved and seemed to enjoy the day - they can all talk a good game, equally as well as McGowan who was road testing his new clubs, he filmed the staff swings which he has uploaded to TeacherTube, they don't make for great viewing. Only as I managed to duff mine (the only bad shot out of 50 ...............)
