TEN FROM ROUND ONE

Junior Clinic #1

On the morning of the first round, 25 kids from the Plat Douet junior school came along for a coaching clinic with Nick Taylor and some of the visiting professionals.

As you can see, a good time was had by all, with plenty of searching questions asked, and some useful training tips picked up too.

There’s another clinic tomorrow morning ...
