around England for
seven to 16-year-olds
Lee Westwood, pictured right, has launched a series of three-day golf academies around England for boys and girls aged seven to 16 years old.
The Ryder Cup star has helped put together a coaching programme with a competitive element, where winners at each of the nine centres will be able to spend a day with him at Lindrick, close to his Worksop home, on August 31.
In addition to receiving tuition, there will be sessions covering nutrition, fitness, psychology, rules and etiquette.
"The game has given me so much and I want to pass on my passion for the game to as many youngsters as I can," said Westwood.
"The beauty of these academies is they will be able to cope with a full range of abilities to make sure everyone improves their golf."
