Player Manual 2 Training Seminars
Following the recent publication of Player Manual 2, Junior Golf Ireland held training seminars in each region for PGA professionals who use the manual in their teaching. Given by PGA tutors Gillian Burrell and David Kearney, attendees received 25 "continuing professional development" points from the PGA. Some club Junior Convenors also attended and worked alongside the PGA professionals, benefitting hugely from the day. Junior Golf Ireland plan to hold further seminars of this kind in future.
