Combined Junior Golf Clinic held at both Bega & Tathra Country Clubs 13 -14th April
Overview of the Two Day Junior Clinic
The junior clinic organised by Wendy Hergenhan proved to be a tremendous success, spanning two days at local venues. The first day was held at Tathra on Monday, followed by Bega on Tuesday. The clinic ran from 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM each day, providing a comprehensive and engaging experience for all involved.
Participation and Activities
More than 30 juniors attended the clinic each day, with ages ranging from 6 to 15 years old. This impressive turnout ensured a lively atmosphere and demonstrated strong enthusiasm for the sport among young participants.
Support and Supervision
Special appreciation goes to Chris Hearn (PGA) and Wendy for delivering excellent tuition throughout the clinic. The event was further supported by members from both clubs, who kindly assisted with supervision, helping to make the clinic run smoothly and safely.
Reflections on the Juniors
The group of juniors who attended was truly outstanding. Their enthusiasm and commitment made the clinic an enjoyable experience for all, and it is clear that the future of golf is in good hands.
Additional Support from Club Members
- Support from club members played an essential role in the clinic’s success. At Tathra, Scott Lipsham contributed by guiding a group of young participants, ensuring they received personal attention and encouragement. Similarly, Gerard Herg assisted at Bega, taking responsibility for a group of juniors and helping them develop their skills. Their involvement provided valuable supervision and engagement, further enriching the experience for the young golfers.
By the way: Chris Hearn, a local PGA professional, is available for personal or group lesson for adults and juniors. For further details, you can contact Chris at 0411 791 898.

Using the Plum Bob method in lining up a putt
I have been using the Plumb Bob method to help me read greens for over 20 years and in this video we are going to put into the test. My brother Paul (PGA Professional) has been using a method called AimPoint which again is a green reading system that has been tried and tested at the highest level.
We will be looking at how my Plumb Bob method holds up against the AimPoint and see if it has been helping or hindering me over the years.
