Woosie and Rocca Slayley Hall

*As teachers, that is...

 

If you were going to pick two legendary golfers to get kids excited about golf, then you couldn't do much better than Ryder Cup legend Ian Woosnam, or Costantino Rocca, the big, lovable Italian bear who wept at St Andrews in 2005.

 

And, luckily for for the pupils of Newcastle's Wingrove School, the partnership between the Golf foundation and Slaley Hall did exactly that in the build-up to the PGA Championship, held on the spanking track at the North-East's finest hotel.

 

The aim of the Tri-Golf initiative is to encourage children to learn golf in a fun environment, while introducing them to technique and etiquette that make golf unique. “Getting children involved in golf at this age is so important. The likes of Tiger, and more recently Rory McIlroy, have proved that age is no barrier," said Woosie. "To involve the local community in an event like this is fantastic and you never know, this initiative could unearth a future Major Champion!”
