This course has been specifically designed to give recognition to talented golfers, as part of the England Golf Partnerships vision of being The Leading Golf Nation in the World by 2020. It aims to support young male and female elite golfers (aged 16-18 at the start of the programme) who can demonstrate the necessary talent, commitment and skill to achieve excellence in golf and who possess a realistic chance of making a career from playing golf. During the two-year programme students work towards an NVQ Level 3 Achieving Excellence in Sports Performance, BTEC level 3 90 Credit Diploma - Studied in Year 1 and the Community Sports Leadership Award or Active IQ Gym Instruction Award. The BTEC qualification encourages the development of playing skills, whilst also providing a good foundation in training, tactical and coaching techniques. Students cover many aspects of the game, from sports nutrition, sports psychology, sports performance and fitness testing to sports coaching, physiology and injury prevention. The Golf Academy team runs an order of Merit for our players each week and the team for the national Intercollegiate Golf Tour is selected from this. Through this event players get to play on different courses throughout the country. Residential trips are organised each year to destinations such as Spain, Portugal or America as part of the course programme.
