As promised in our previous magazine article, we have a national Easter Egg hunt running over the next few weeks! One of our Young Ambassadors, Matthew Lister (Fulford GC, Yorkshire) explains further:
Myself, and the other England Golf and Golf Foundation Young Ambassadors have been up to a couple of projects recently, with an Easter theme behind them. The first project was to hide Easter Eggs full of goodies at golf venues all over the country, diversifying from golf courses, crazy golf courses, indoor simulators and driving ranges. In the belief that… juniors will find them, become aware of the Young Ambassador programme (if they were not aware already) and how we are trying to make golf more enjoyable and accessible to a younger audience.
Also, for whoever finds the Easter Eggs there will be some small golf related prizes waiting at the venue for them to collect and take home. The eggs will be findable right across the Easter bank holiday weekend. Videos on our Instagram page will give you clues on where to look, so stay tuned
The second project, which we developed at our latest in person meeting, was to design some new Golfway games, one of which had an Easter theme to it (see photo). This was made up of a large Easter Egg with four different sections, designed to practice distance control and you scored points depending on which section of the target you hit, the further away the target, the more points scored.
We also designed some other Golfway games around other holiday times of the year too, and all the Young Ambassadors had some really great and engaging ideas. Hopefully, these will be turned into real Golfway games and used in schools and at golf clubs around the country! What activities are your club running this Easter for children and young people? We hope our ideas have inspired you to be creative and fun this holiday!
Finally, a huge congratulations to Megan Grimwood, pictured here (Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire), one of our Young Ambassadors who won the England Golf Young Person of the Year Award, Sponsored by the Golf Foundation. A further congratulations to Ruby Fox (Kenwick Park, Lincolnshire), another fantastic member of the group who was runner–up, alongside George Cornall (Kenilworth and The Warwickshire, Warwickshire).
