PUPILS at Holywell Primary School took up the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of golf at a new after-school club.
The pupils attended a six-week programme in which they learnt about the game, including putting and chipping. The club met in the school hall where children used Tri-Golf equipment, which has been adapted for schools and indoor use.
The club was set up by Huntingdonshire District Council's leisure development team in conjunction with Tai Tuwai, a PGA teaching professional from Hemingford Abbots Golf Complex.
Martin Grey, youth sport development officer, said: "This is the first golf after-school club we have held and it went very well. Tri-Golf is a great initiative that can give young people an insight into golf. We will be looking to expand the clubs into further schools across the district".
Tai Tuwai, said: "The development of the pupils over the six weeks was excellent, we now hope they continue with the sport and advance their games further.
