Golf Factor Returns to Yorkshire

THE GOLF FACTOR IS BACK IN YORKSHIRE AND THIS YEAR IT’S GOING TO BE EVEN BIGGER AND BETTER!

Following two tremendously successful years and having been rolled out across 4 counties, Golf Factor 2011 is re-launching this week in Yorkshire.

The Golf Factor is back for 2011

Golf Factor is a talent search for junior golfers which has become a well supported and established event over the last two years. Winners receive a fantastic package of golf support including equipment, swing and mind coaching provided by Direct Golf UK and John Letters Golf Academy.

This year organisers have added a new category – “Future Stars” for young people who are new to the game. James Beattie Junior Golf development Coordinator for John Letters Golf Academies said “We work in schools every day to introduce the game to school children so we came up with a skills test for new players to encourage entries from novices to experience a golf factor event”.

All junior golfers with a handicap can enter golf factor. Players must hit a variety of shots in front of a panel of expert judges whom score the candidates performance. Successful applicants progress through to a “boot camp” which is a more intensive set of skills test and the final is played on a golf course. All participants also receive a goody bag for entering.

Alex Robinson winner of Golf Factor 2010 knows the pressures of the competition and is to urging junior golfers to enter, “Golf Factor is the best thing I have ever done and the support I have received since winning the final has really improved my game. It’s great fun and a good test of your nerve under pressure!”

Golf Factor events are very much a fun, family occasion and trick show artist Rob Brown will be on hand demonstrating his amazing talent. This year the competition is being supported by the Chris Gill Junior Golf Foundation, a newly formed community interest company set up by John Letters Golf Academy founder John Andrew in memory of his good friend Chris Gill, who was a big supporter of junior golf in the North West.
