The Junior Golf Performance Centre at Manchester Golf Club was established by PGA Professional Scott Connor in 2006, there are now more than 60 junior golfers taking part in lessons at the club. House of Golf Assistant Matthew Hough has recently taken over the development of Junior Golf at Manchester Golf Club and in the wider community. With pupils as young as five, Matthew can work on a one-to-one basis with boys and girls and also teach juniors in groups.
The Junior Golf Passport which is promoted by the Golf Foundation has proved to be a great motivation for the youngsters, as it provides key skills for game improvement at a steady pace. All areas of the game are worked on throughout the scheme.
The Golf Performance Team has a wealth of experience when it comes to junior golf. Scott Connor was a junior county player and Faldo Series Finalist he is a qualified PGA Professional who has spent time in the States with Butch Harmon, Chuck Cook and Bob Toski to improve his coaching skills. He works with elite Junior Golfers at the Golf Performance Centre.
Matthew Hough was an accomplished amateur who was winner of the Northern Order of Merit Henriques Trophy and is currently in his second year as a trainee with the Professional Golfers Association.
One of the aims of the Junior Performance Centre is to share this wealth of experience with up and coming golfers. Advice can be given on tournaments to enter and golfing schedules, all tailored to enhance the individual's development.
Links have been established with County organisations, the Golf Foundation and numerous other junior organisations to enable us to provide the best advice available.

The Junior Performance Centre and Manchester Golf Club Junior Section organised a visit to the Ping Factory in Gainsborough. During the visit the young golfers learned about the importance of having correctly fitted golf clubs, how golf clubs are manufactured and the technology that is involved. It was a great experience for everyone!
