PERFECT MATCH
Anthony De Beauville

For the first time this week skies were clear over the north of the island and one would have to believe it was a blessing from above as the first training session for 18 young and aspiring golfers of the Grow Well Organization commenced their first training session on the picturesque Cap Estate Golf range in the north.
Grow Well is a non - profit community organization that has won the support of the St.Lucia Golf Club to commence a Junior Programme for the youth within the town of Gros Islet and its envious. The programme is geared at both sexes 7 to 16 years old.
Glenn Sorenson Head Professional at the St. Lucia Golf Club said, “We strongly support Junior Golf, our objective with this programme is to introduce golf to those who otherwise would not be able to afford the game. Grow Well is well known for its good works in the community and for the organizational skills necessary for the success of this exciting project.
 
 

Grow Well Treasurer Susan Guillaume took time out when she applauded the Golf Club for its community outreach. “The Club provides not only access to its facilities, but also golf clubs, balls, transportation and leadership. Through this programme our children will learn not only the game of golf, but also can acquire the discipline, concentration and etiquette that is crucial to the game as well as to their personal development.”
The man given the responsibility for the inaugural programme is Peter Charles David, professional golf instructor. David was on the buzzer before his first session on Wednesday afternoon as he recounted what golf meant to him and his close friends as young caddies at the Cap Estate Golf Club. “Golf showed us opportunities otherwise unattainable for us and totally changed our lives. My personal commitment is to share the lessons we learned with children in our community in a fun and nurturing environment.”
Meanwhile, Grow Well’s principal contributors are The Landings and the Rotary Club of Gros Islet. In addition to the St. Lucia Golf Club, sponsors of the Golf programme include Sharon and Carnie Lawson and Domino’s Pizza. Grow Well seeks the support of corporations and individuals for the continued year-round success of this programme for the young.
