Scholarship
Sports Foundation Scholarship
The Foxhills Golf Foundation was introduced for the first time back in the late 1980s. The hugely successful foundation gives a handful of aspiring junior golfers with promise and determination, the chance to play, practice and be coached at Foxhills. The lucky few to be selected are offered up to six years of free golf at the club along with free lessons and buckets of balls to use at the excellent practice facilities that Foxhills offers.
“Over the years the Golf Foundation has been a phenomenal success. The fact that nine of our graduates are now professionals shows just how beneficial the Foundation can be, provided you are willing to work hard and make the most of the opportunity,” said Marc Hayton, Foxhills' Managing Director.
Former Foxhills foundation graduates testify to the scheme's success. Paul Casey remembers his start as a Golf Foundation student at Foxhills: "I can't thank Foxhills enough for the help they gave me when I was a youngster. It was a marvelous experience and something that did a great deal to help me become the golfer I am today." We look forward to hearing from our new young stars in the coming months and years.

Coaching
Junior Programme
Our Junior Programme is based on a Long-Term Athletic Development model which sys-tematically takes each child through each level of development. Those levels are all based on biological age, not chronological age - We do not make children do what their bodies are not ready to do.
We help them to build Physical Literacy by developing Fundamental Movement Skills (Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed) first, and then integrate them into Fundamental Sport Skills (Striking, Throwing, Sequencing etc).
Children will be coached in a fun, social and healthy environment where their athletic and golf skills will be closely monitored and nurtured.
The Programme
Children participate in 90-minute sessions. The 90 minutes include a warm-up and cool down, team-building activities and up to 12 stations in the “FUNdamental Cyclone” or the “S.M.A.S.H Zone”
The “FUNdamental Cyclone” is set up for the less experienced juniors. It focuses on the body‟s fundamental movement skills.
The S.M.A.S.H Zone – which stands for Stability, Mobility, ABCs (Agility, Balance, Co-ordination and Speed), Sports skills and Honing golf skills, are set up for the more experi-enced juniors.
The S.M.A.S.H's focus is developing sports skills, specifically golf skills.
The Cycle
There are four sessions in a cycle.
During these cycles the juniors learn and eventually master a different theme, including – grip, alignment, posture and weight shift.
During the fourth session of the cycle, the Juniors are taken on the golf course for 90 minutes of on-course playing and coaching.
Just like the Cyclone and S.M.A.S.H zones, our on-course coaching is skill appropriate. Some athletes will use drivers, wedges and putters. Some athletes will use tennis rackets, footballs and hockey sticks. And some will use a combi-nation of both. But all of them will use the skills learned and practiced during the other sessions.
