JUNIORS are continuing to benefit from Cheshire golfing legend David Horsey passing on his wisdom.

The 39-year-old four-times European Tour event winner started in the sport as a youngster at Styal Golf Club where he has always been involved in supporting juniors.

He has set up and hosted the David Horsey Styal Junior Open for many years and he has been helping to coach the Cheshire under 12s team this year.

Styal and Cheshire coach Mark Johnson said: “This year’s David Horsey Styal Junior Open was an amazing day with superb prizes , trophies and the winner won a game with David.

“He also held a short-game clinic at the conclusion of play to share his tips with all of the competitors.

“David has also done two coaching sessions with the Cheshire under 12s group at Styal which has seen him passing on his short-game tips to future stars on ‘The Cheshire County Development Programme.’ “David has a simple and effective strategy for his short game - it’s a great way to play the multiple green side shots needed with minimal change.

“Every golfer would benefit from following his strategy.

“It’s been a pleasure to host David for a second year with the development squad.

“I know David is keen to put something back into junior golf, especially at his home course at Styal. It’s always a fun session, so great for the kids to hear it first hand from a Tour winner.”

The Cheshire County Development Programme is the first stage of the county golf experience for boys aged 12 and under, delivered by Johnson.

“We’ve just finished the second year and it’s been a real kickstart for all the boys on the comprehensive programme,” he said.

“This year we have also been joined by Jordan Massey, putting specialist, and we will be recruiting shortly for the 2024/2025 season.”
