11 children signed up for the beginner’s course organised by Golf Las Americas and sponsored by the Canarian Golf Federation. The course was open to children between the ages of 6 – 15 years old and the only condition was that they had never played golf previously.

The professional responsible for teaching the children was Alejandro Claverie who was assisted by Roberto Perez. Every Monday, Wednesday & Friday for 6 weeks beginning in the 1st week of June, the children were taught for 2 hours on each of the days and their enthusiasm was evident during the 50 hours of classes they received on all facets of the game. The course culminated in a small tournament of 9 holes which was followed by drinks & snacks at the clubhouse. The participants were presented with their prizes from the tournament but more importantly the presentation of their diplomas and Federation licence by Dña. Maria Luisa Fornies del Castillo the President of the Canarian Golf Federation.

As you will see from the photos of the last day and the prize giving, the children more than enjoyed their experience and from the quality of the golf played by some of them in the tournament, they have left us in little doubt that there will be a future star amongst them.

We would like to thank the President and the Federation for dedicating their time and investment in the future of golf on the islands.
