Published: Last updated:
Ryder Cup star and World No. 4 Justin Rose visited Golf at Goodwood earlier this week to give members a memorable masterclass.
The 32 year old Englishman who joined the West Sussex venue earlier this year as their global sporting ambassador gave adult and junior members tips and advice and an insight into playing golf at an elite level.
Goodwood has more than 60 junior members with an average age of 12 years old and Justin was impressed with the encouraging interest shown towards junior golfers which resonated with his own experiences in getting started.
He said: “Goodwood is a wonderful environment in which to play golf and the positive attitude of the club to cultivate juniors and create a centre of excellence is a great way of developing some wonderful talent in the South of England. The range of facilities is superb with chipping areas and the academy is fantastic for juniors.”
Goodwood’s Head Professional Ryan Fenwick, who played alongside Justin as an amateur, is now lead coach for the Sussex Junior squad and his longterm goal is to develop a college programme for young players combining technical, physical, mental and lifestyle skills.
He said: “We have some really talented juniors here at Golf At Goodwood and it is great for them to learn first hand from one of the best golfers in the world.”
