Golf at Clifton College is open to both girls and boys and is mainly aimed at fairly experienced players with handicaps of 24 or better. However, there are coaching sessions on Tuesday afternoons which are also open to total beginners (limited numbers). Thursday afternoons are set aside for the more advanced players, when we play a full round of 18 holes. Whilst our ‘home’ club is The Bristol and Clifton Golf Club, we play on different courses each week so that players can have more experience of a variety of courses.

Typical fixtures:

Avon Schools Championships
ISGA National Matchplay Competition
Individual school fixtures
Matches against the Old Cliftonians Golf Society
The Keith Watson Trophy
Match against Clifton College staff

Weekly routine:

Tuesdays, 2-4pm (all 3 terms)	–	coaching with Mark Needham (resident teaching professional at Bristol & Clifton Golf Club)
Thursday afternoons (all 3 terms)	–	18 holes at a variety of local courses (dependent on available daylight hours in Michaelmas and Lent terms)
