Hi Guys, great initiative. In 1970, 3 pals and myself persuaded our sports master in a London overspill school to enter us into the Aer Lingus school boy national event. Our parents helped us mark out a small driving range in the school field, we practised hard. I knew a local club professional, he lived near me, he was intrigued, so came up and gave us lessons. We. Qualified for the national finals in regional qualifying at The Neville Tunbridge Wells, and low and behold final at Sunningdale. Only comprehensive school entered and we made the final, there were private school masters asking their players how they let us council house kids beat them. I still have the newspaper cuttings, and my extended family still talk about the pride that South London kids took it to Etonians and other private schools. Unfortunately, things haven’t changed much in 50 years, lets hope this initiative is the catalyst
