The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Ladies’ Golf Association (ELGA) this week launched a new website designed specifically for junior golfers called ‘The Bunker’.
The Bunker includes information for juniors of all ages and abilities and contains practical information on where to play and membership opportunities as well as games and competitions including Cool Clubs, Player Profiles, Spot the Ball, Top Tips.
The website also aims to educate juniors on the EGU and ELGA’s wider work and role within amateur golf by providing links to both the governing bodies websites where juniors can see the progress of England’s top amateur players, find out where the amateur Championships are taking place and find guidance on handicapping and rules of the game.
Richard Flint, Golf Development Manager for the EGU commented, "It is important to give junior golfers information which is not only appropriate but also will be of interest to them. The Bunker website provides a great opportunity to interact with junior golfers and for them to interact with us. These players will after all be the future adult club members and players in years to come.".
The EGU and ELGA expect The Bunker to be a popular addition to their current websites and are encouraging both juniors and parents to provide feedback on its content. Information in The Bunker will be updated on a regular basis and the EGU and ELGA Golf Development Team would be delighted to receive input from golf clubs and other organisations which could further enhance the site.
