Czech Golf --- new squads & new dates for training

The CGF are currently finalising a training week for their Performance squad at Costa Ballena Golf near to Jerez from December 1st.

The Performance squad has now been selected and will include four young newcomers - all 16 years old .... Ales Prochazka and Daniel Suchan with handicaps of 0 and +1 both played in the European Boys Team Championships in Holland earlier this year. Kate Krasova and Adela Cellenova have yet to gain international team selection but with handicaps of 0 and 1 should do so in 2010. These players have now moved from the Development squad so that Keith can focus more on their international development and experience. They join other young players on the squad such as Klara Spilkova who won two international events and finished in the top 5 in four others - the highlight of her year was playing in the Junior Solheim Cup in the USA the week prior to the main event. She ended the year off a handicap of +4 - not bad for a 14 year old!

From October 13-15th, 20 x  younger players will be assessed in Prague at the Cechie Golf Centre and the top 12 will be selected to the Development squad for training with Keith and two local coaches Rene Pink and Kino Navarro.

Czech golf made historic progress in 2009 and if progess continues to be so successful it won't be long before a few of these youngsters names are being heard of in the UK and even around the World.
