Great Move.....some youngsters are not able to show their talent being very costly Game....I strongly recommend youngsters below the age of 15 be allowed free membership
That would be a great move. Currently, the costs are exorbitant and parents of talented Golfers often find it difficult to manage the expenses. Parents find it challenging to manage tournaments, travelling and coaching
Free membership sure seems an obvious way to boost the new generation of golfers. However the club can offer and strike the right balance for Junior membership where things are much more affordable than the present scenario and attractive membership with competitions, lessons etc. is a great way to do so! But clubs need a level of commitment from kids and parents, too. So that this scheme on a whole works out effectively.
I kind of stand in between both the decisions. I surely think free membership should be given to junior golfer’s in India, but not to all. It should be rather kept as a prize for the top juniors that perform well. But I’m a firm believer that junior golf should be promoted and juniors should be helped in all golf courses. I’ve seen that older members are chosen over juniors in golf clubs in India whereas it’s the opposite in golf dominating countries like USA
More kids will be introduced to the game and there will a large pool of talent and later on they can be groomed into becoming professionals. Also it’ll help grow different aspects of the game as more people will be introduced and all can contribute.
