A small comment from Ryan - Over the last 6 months, I really believe Barnehurst Golf Club has turned a corner and the condition of the facility is fantastic. I was extremely proud watching 20 juniors that I coach, partner up with their Adult and compete together. A Texas scramble is all about team work and achieving the right tactics to be able to shoot a low score. I watched so many of my juniors direct the correct tactics and guide their adult to play well. ‘The juniors were outshining parents and carrying them at times’ were comments made from parents. If anyone outside is interested in having golf lessons, I am lucky enough to coach and run my own junior academy. Currently my academy has over 55 juniors that come to me every Saturday and I am always looking to expand this. I also coach private 1-1 sessions for adults & juniors so please feel free to get in touch. [email protected]
