Tranby Golf Programme

Why is the partnership important?

Alongside the wide range of sports and activities we offer outside of the school curriculum and extra-curricular offering, it is with great excitement that we are able to offer a golf programme that fits in to pupil's timetabled Games lesson time from Year 9.

It is at this point during their school life that pupils begin to realise where their real interests and passions lie. The golf programme aims to give students a richer offering to incorporate sports and physical activity that they are likely to pursue after their time at school, as well as advance them to a point where they are competing to their highest level.

How do you get involved?

Please email Mr Henderson at the start of each term to register your interest. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis at the start of each term (a prompt text/email will go out to parents). Once your place has been confirmed, Mr Henderson will email out the payment link and the transport consent form.

Who is it for?

The programme is for Year 9 students and above and there is no set standard to enrol in the programme, beginners are more than welcome, as are advanced players.

When will it happen and how will it work?

We will use Games lesson time to take pupils to Hull Golf Club and One-Stop Golf Training Facility where they will be coached by the club professionals and get the opportunity to play the course. All transport and necessary equipment (unless they have their own) will be provided.

Pupils may wish to dip in and out of golf coaching according to the sports being played/taught during that term.

Competitions

Tranby PE Department will also be working closely with Hull Golf Club to facilitate opportunities to host and attend inter school competitions/fixtures as well as taking some of the younger pupils to try the game.

1. ISA National Golf Championships.
2. Yorkshire Schools Championship (currently held at Malton – run by Kevin Hughes)
3. Annual Tranby Golf Day - where parents, pupils (past and present), staff and friends of the school enjoy fun open competition including a meal

Cost break down

There will be an additional cost for this unique opportunity which is added to the school fees at the start of the year, it will include a one and half hour coaching session with the Hull Golf Club Team of PGA Professionals per week. Time will be split between our practice areas, putting and chipping greens, indoor swing analysis zone and the Hull Golf Club 18 hole course. Tranby pupils will also benefit from a discount in the club shop for equipment and will be eligible for a discount on all extra coaching sessions they book directly at Hull Golf Club.

£200 each term for a block of lessons (1.5 hours to take place during games lesson time approximately £20 per session over a 9-11 week period), this includes any equipment if needed and transport to and from the course in the games lesson allotted time.

The termly breakdown of coaching in games lesson time

Please note the weeks/time is worked out around the normal school interruptions of exam weeks, school trips, sports fixtures etc.

Pupils may wish to dip in and out of the golf coaching according to the sports being played/taught during that term. So that the school and Hull Golf Club can plan, pupils must register and pay for the pogramme in advance.
