Under 14s
This age group includes talent at the beginning of their County golf experience up to Under 14 boys with handicaps in single figures. BB&O invests a lot of time ensuring that as many prospects as possible are assessed by County Coaches and, when ready, join our Under 14 coaching squads.
County coaching begins in December and continues to the beginning of the playing season when each age group then has the chance to play for BB&O in a series of friendly matches and, for the Under 14s, League matches against Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Middlesex.
At this age group, the emphasis is on the golfing fundamentals – grip, set-up and so on, as well as attitude and temperament. These all need to be learned and adopted at the earliest possible age. As the boys move towards the Under 14 age group, we begin to introduce the importance of nutrition and other factors that influence performance on the day.
The majority of boys in our Under 14 squad progress on up to both the Under 16 and Junior Elite squads.
