Golf club told to try to hit target before it gets any money from town council
Councillors have put grant funding for £750 for Falmouth Golf Club to send its junior section on a trip to Portugal on hold after hearing fundraising had been going very well. At a meeting of Falmouth Town Council's finance and general purposes committee on Monday councillors heard the club was already well on its way to its target of £10,000. Advertisement The clubs says the money is to enable it to send 12 players from the Falmouth Golf Club Juniors on a "transformative" Player Development Tour to Portugal, where they will receive elite coaching from Fernando Nogueira and benefit from mentorship under Rob McGregor, our Falmouth Golf Club aspiring professional. It says the tour will not only sharpen their technical skills but also enhance their experience by competing against top junior players from the Algarve at the renowned Vilamoura Golf Academy on the Laguna Course. The club says the experience will contribute to the long-term growth of these young golfers, providing them with exposure to high level competition, advanced training techniques, and the chance to develop as individuals both on and off the course. The club said the money from the council would go towards players costs such as flights, coaching costs, green fees, trolley hire, accommodation, transfers luggage, playing and training uniform.

The club has multiple events planned to raise the remainder, including a 'squares' monthly prize draw that has already raised £3,000, and a Go Fund Me page set up at Advertisement There is a Bingo Night on July 4, Race Night planned for July 19 at Falmouth Golf Club, the Ben Walker charity golf day booked for August 17, a quiz night on the same date and a Halloween Golf Evening on October 31.
