HAVERHILL GOLF CLUB

NOMINATED FOR NATIONAL AWARD

Haverhill Golf Club has been nominated to represent Suffolk in the GolfMark ‘Club of the Year 2009’ by Colin Firmin, Chair of the Suffolk Golf Foundation and his Committee. The selected ‘Club of the Year’ will be invited to a ceremony at The National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa in February 2010.

Back in April 2009, Haverhill Golf Club received EGU/EWGA GolfMark (incorporating ClubMark) accreditation and the Club has been nationally recognised as a junior and beginner friendly golf club. The award was made at the ‘High Achiever’ level which shows the club has met additional criteria well over and above the minimum standards required to achieve GolfMark. Chair of the Junior Committee, Linda MacFarlane, was the driving force behind the Club’s achievement and at the time Haverhill was only the second club in Suffolk to attain this status, which encompasses many aspects surrounding coaching and playing, club environment, child protection and duty of care. With the Club being fortunate to retain Paul Wilby as their Professional, the future continues to look extremely bright for Haverhill golf, as Paul and his Assistant Professional Ollie Rush run ‘Junior Academy’coaching sessions every weekend throughout the year. The Club is also a Starter Centre for The Golf Foundation.

For further information regarding the Junior Academy, please contact Paul Wilby at Haverhill Golf Club direct on 01440 712628.

PROUD WEEK FOR HAVERHILL GOLF CLUB

What a week it has been for the golf staff at Haverhill Golf Club. Ollie Rush has become the 2009 Del Bower Suffolk Assistant’s Champion, winning in style via a play off. Ollie had scores of 73 and 74 at a testing and very windy Hintlesham Golf Club, finishing equal with Ryan Wingate of Ipswich Golf
Club (Purdis Heath) and formerly a Junior Member at Haverhill Golf Club and Assistant at Saffron Walden. A birdie at the first play off hole secured Ollie’s first Professional win and afterwards he said “I am thrilled to have won this prestigious event, sponsored by Mr Del Bower (Suffolk PGA President,
and Mr Tony Garnett (Suffolk PGA Secretary) and thank them for their support. I would like to thank my long game coach, Stuart Robertson (Ufford Park) and Paul Wilby (Haverhill Golf Club) for my short
game and also my sponsors, Atlantic Health & Spa. The course at Hintlesham was in excellent condition and helped the scoring on a difficult day.”
Harry Mills, who has been a junior member at Haverhill for 6 years and plays off a handicap of 3, has successfully opened the door to the world of Professional Golf by passing his PGA Playing Ability test
over 36 holes at Bishops Stortford Golf Club. He can now start the process of turning professional and taking a Birmingham University Degree Course in golf, which will take 3-4 years to complete before becoming a full member of the Professional Golfers’ Association. Harry said “I am delighted
with my qualification rounds and I’m looking forward to playing as a Professional Golfer. We have our PGA East Region Pro-Am here on 28th August and I am hopeful that I will be eligible to play as a
Professional and not as an amateur in this event. I would like to thank Haverhill Golf Club for their support over the last 6 years and look forward to being of service for many years to come.” Paul Wilby the Club Professional commented “I am very proud of my team, who have achieved significant steps forwards in their own careers. The boys work very hard and are a great asset to myself and to the Golf Club. I look forward to the future development of these two promising Assistant Professionals and I’m very happy with their commitment with the day-to-day running of the Golf Club
and the service they provide to our Members.

GOLFMARK AWARD

Haverhill Golf Club has been successful in their pursuit of the EGU/EWGA GolfMark (incorporating ClubMark) accreditation and now the club will be nationally recognised as a junior and beginner friendly golf club. What has delighted the membership is that the award has been made at the ‘High Achiever’ level which shows the club has met additional criteria well over and above the minimum standards required to achieve GolfMark. Haverhill is only the second club in Suffolk to attain this status which encompasses many aspects surrounding coaching and playing, club environment and child protection and duty of care. With the club being fortunate to retain Paul Wilby as their Professional the future looks extremely bright for Haverhill golf as Paul heads up his own ‘Junior Academy’ and in the short while he has been operating at Coupals Road he has already attracted a healthy group of young ladies into his coaching sessions. The club is also a Starter Centre for The Golf Foundation.

The driving force of the junior committee who strived to gain the award was Linda Macfarlane and she is pictured with Alistair Spink receiving the ClubMark certificate.

JUNIOR GOLF IN HAVERHILL  - 2009

Ollie Rush with some of the Sunday morning juniors at Haverhill Golf Club

Following their recent move to Haverhill Golf Club, Professionals Paul Wilby and Ollie Rush are focusing on encouraging and promoting junior golf in the area. Wilby and Rush have been working closely with the Suffolk Sports Partnership, who have funding for school visits with Tri Golf. This is a fun way for youngsters to start playing golf with specially designed golf equipment for safety in the school environment. So far the pair have worked in eight local schools and are thrilled with the interest from the pupils who are involved.?


The Junior Academy sessions at the Haverhill Golf Club are already proving to be successful, with classes running on both Saturday and Sunday mornings. Saturdays are strictly for junior members of the club and an hour?s tuition is only ?1 per junior. This is subsidised by two golf days that the Club run annually to create funding for the coaching costs. All ?1 fees are pumped straight back into the junior fund for any necessary expenses. The Sunday classes are open to non members ages 5-16 who are welcome to join in with the fun, social and well structured group coaching. At the moment there are two 1 hour sessions run, with start times of 10am and 11am and these will be added to when both sessions are regularly full. There is a constant 15-18 showing up each week at the moment and booking is essential to guarantee a place and also for safety reasons. The cost per session is ?4 and is excellent value for money; golf clubs are supplied free of charge.?


It is Haverhill Golf Club?s aim to progress any junior who has the right attitude to golf to become a junior member and join in with the ?1 sessions, which are also held on Tuesday evenings when light permits. This session will last for an hour and a half and starts at 6pm. Wilby said ?looking forward I see our junior section going from strength to strength, as the juniors make progress through these coaching opportunities, with their skill and enjoyment levels rising month on month. The Sunday morning classes are a great way to get your youngster into this great game where not only will they get good exercise but learn a lot of life skills by being part of this friendly Club?.
