Kirtlington professional Andy Taylor will coach in six local schools after receiving an £800 grant from the Golf Foundation.
Taylor’s sessions will teach the sport and look to improve numeracy skills by applying a scoring system relevant to times-tables.
Four lessons will take place with plastic clubs and soft balls in the schools, with the remaining two using proper equipment at Kirtlington.
Taylor is also running a coaching course for juniors during the Easter holidays, starting on April 7.
Allison has chosen the Helen & Douglas House hospice as his charity for the year.
He then saw his side lose the annual captain’s versus president’s team challenge to new president Graham Reynolds.
Visitors can pay £15 to take on a club member. For more information, contact manager Bob Harris on 01865 554924.
The pair gave out trophies to last year’s four division winners – Burford, Oxford City (pictured), Shrivenham Park and Buckingham at The Oxfordshire.
Neal and O’Connell were particularly pleased to present the Division 2 award to City captain Graham Henley, who is a fellow partner with the Oxford-based accountants.
The 2009 season begins on Saturday, March 28.
