When Paul Casey won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, golf fans around the UK watched in awe as the supremely talented Englishman produced near flawless golf to fend off a strong field… but none more-so than the team at Foxhills, Surrey, where Casey trained as a youngster.
At the age of 11, Casey received a scholarship from the Foxhills Golf Foundation and his golfing achievements are clear testament to the scheme’s success.
Casey says the main reason he was able to win the European Tour’s flagship event and move to number 3 in the World Golf Rankings is the scholarship he received from Foxhills.
“I can’t thank Foxhills enough for the help they gave me when I was a youngster. It was a marvelous experience and something that did a great deal to help me become the golfer I am today.”
Anthony Wall is another Foxhills Golf Foundation graduate who has taken his game to the next level over recent years.
The Foxhills Golf Foundation was established in the late 1980’s with the aim of giving a handful of aspiring junior golfers, who show promise and determination, the chance to play, practice and be coached at Foxhills.
The lucky few to be selected are offered up to six years of free golf at the club along with free lessons and buckets of balls to use at the excellent Foxhill practice facilities.
“Over the years the Golf Foundation has been a phenomenal success. The fact that nine of our graduates are now professionals shows just how beneficial the Foundation can be, provided you are willing to work hard and make the most of the opportunity,” commented Marc Hayton, Foxhills’ Managing Director.
