32 golf clubs will take on GolfSixes branding
The Golf Foundation reports that the event at Centurion Club resulted in local children showcasing how this dynamic team format can help grow the junior game in many of our golf clubs – and will see 32 English golf clubs launching an academy based on the tournament this summer.
GolfSixes is the revolutionary new short form of golf from the European Tour that saw two-man teams from 16 nations competing around a six-hole circuit for a prize fund of €1 million.
It was so successful that the Golf Foundation has announced that it will be helping youngsters emulate their European Tour heroes by piloting ‘GolfSixes Academy’ events in 32 golf clubs around England over the summer, employing the European Tour’s GolfSixes branding.
Funded by Sport England, playing the exciting team format over six holes, promising new young golfers will represent their golf clubs in a league against other local clubs while kitted out in team shirts. All of the clubs involved operate the Golf Foundation’s successful HSBC Golf Roots programme that helps young people to ‘Start, Learn and Stay’ in golf.
