Golf Club Partnerships

Partnering with Clubs to Build the Pipeline

The Schools Programme doesn't operate in isolation. It feeds directly into the club environment, bringing children through the door before they've even thought to look for it. When we partner with golf clubs and country clubs, the school outreach becomes the entry point for a complete development ecosystem.

Tournament structures, Leadbetter Kids sessions, junior camps, and ongoing coaching support are all built around the same pathway, so every child who picks up a club in a school session has a clear route forward.

1

Schools outreach

We come to the school. Children experience golf in a familiar environment before ever visiting a club.

2

Junior camp integration

High-performing school participants feed into elite 5-day intensive camps with GW Sports coaches.

3

Tournament-linked coaching

Top juniors earn coaching rewards through competitive play, creating aspiration at every level.

4

Global pathway

The best players gain access to international exposure through the wider GW Sports network.
