Blenheim Golf Academy

Golf LogoWelcome

Launched Easter 2023, the Blenheim Golf Academy provides coaching for students of all abilities using state of the art equipment. 

Blenheim High School values the benefits of sporting activity on both physical and mental health. Golf is one of the fastest growing sports for young people and the nature of the sport appeals to those who may not choose to participate in more conventional sports. 

Blenheim received substantial funding to launch the Blenheim Golf Academy. The equipment purchased includes both lightweight and normal golf clubs and golf balls, Skytrak launch monitor and simulator equipment, driving and chipping nets, putting mats and associated software compatible with iPads. 

The Blenheim Golf Academy is delivered by Blenheim’s Physical Education team along with the Head PGA Coach from Surbiton Golf Club, Peter Roberts.  

Opportunities

  • Golf is taught in the curriculum to students in all year groups using specialised Golfway equipment enabling all students to experience the sport on the school site.
  • Curriculum teaching is complemented by a co-curricular club offering golf coaching during the Summer term.
  • A unique mental toughness programme, ‘Unleash your Drive’, is delivered to specific students throughout the year.
