Kids prefer to play golf during the summer holiday Determined to popularize golf among children and youth in Bulgaria, Pirin Golf & Country Club in cooperation with hotel Perun, Bansko, organized the second golf camp for this year.
We’ve started this initiative in 2009, all participants from the previous camps conveyed they had great time. Some of them were so enthusiastic about learning to play golf, that they have registered for the forthcoming camp from the very beginning.
The passion for golf was so strong that the kids were motivated to show their skills they’ve acquired last week. The camp started on 03 July and culminated with a golf tournament on 10th July.
The first day of the camp started with a guided tour around the complex. The children were familiarized with the golf courses, the academy and driving range. The beginners were learning the basics in golf with the golf assistants. The young golfers were introduced the short play (chipping, pitching, putting) with the help of various competitive exercises.
The children had plenty of entertainments for their free time: hockey, football and other games. The young golfers also had the chance to play 9-holes of the Ian Woosnam golf course in order to prepare for the upcoming tournament. After the intensive trainings and golf play the children drove golf carts in the complex. The evenings in the hotel also offered a lot of entertainments and competitions in swimming, table tennis, billiards and golf films with explanations from the Head Pro Nikolay Stanew.
