ALDERLEY Edge

Golf Club has one of the biggest and most successful junior sections in the region and is continuing to go from strength to strength

Edge professional Charles le Sueur said: “What have we done to get such a big junior section?

“It all started with offering some lessons included in the junior membership package. As soon as we reopened last year we got so busy that I decided to bring in

Tom Metcalfe, PGA Professional, to take over all of the junior coaching as I didn’t have the time available that the junior section deserves.”
