American Golf is offering free Junior Golf Sessions for kids across the UK for the next five weeks of the summer holidays.

As part of its drive to grow the game, the UK’s leading golf retailer is opening up its putting greens across all 85 stores every Thursday morning for children to get their first taste of golf. 

Starting on August 1, one of American Golf’s expert in-store teams will lead the sessions and dish out advice to the handfuls of golfing newbies and inspire them to get out and play. Participants will also have the chance to win a PING Junior Prodi G Set.

The junior sessions are part of American Golf’s Game Changers campaign, designed to open up the game to a diverse range of new players, including children considering taking up the sport.

American Golf is also offering 10% off all junior products for the summer, making taking up a new sport even easier. This comes as data from the company shows a steady rise in sales of children’s golfing gear since 2022, growing 15% in the last 12 months. 

On the activity, Scott Taylor, Marketing and CRM Director from American Golf, said: “Getting into golf doesn’t have to be daunting, so we’ve launched free classes across the UK to ensure anyone can get involved regardless of their background or their ability. 

“Our experts will be the best teachers for any young golfers looking to take to the green for the first time, as they share their best tips and tricks to the perfect shot. We have no doubt there will be a whole new generation of Game Changers before we know it”.
