The Saint-Samson Golf School
From September to June, the Saint-Samson Golf Course welcomes children, aged 4 to 18, at our Golf School held on Wednesday afternoon and Saturdays.
Our pro golfers, Patryk Lescastreyres & Jean-Dominique Savidan, applies their teaching skills to enable all youngsters to develop their golf potential, using an approach that is both technical and enjoyable. We are also fortunate enough to have several volunteers at the St-Samson, and their support is invaluable in helping youngster to get out on the course in complete safety.
“For youngsters, the Golf School is a place for training and also for putting everything into practice, whether as a hobby or for competitions.
The aims of the Sports Association are that each player learns to love playing golf, in an atmosphere of camaraderie and sportmanship, progressing at his or her own pace, gradually adopting the main values that are conveyed by our sport.”
