For kids
Golf Club Hořehledy chose youth support as one of its main goals in 2006. In conducting regular training and developing the skills of young players we see the meaning of our work and investment. Therefore, in 2014 we were one of the first to join the new project ČGF School on Golf, and so we intensively cooperate with nearby schools, where we weekly organize golf trainings. In the same way, we train children directly on our golf course.
In our childrens golf club, we not only teach young kids the rules and system of golf but also learn about fair play, moral values, and cooperation. We always try to find a direct link between sport competition and normal life. In 2020, after several years of monitoring and testing, we have professionalized our training system, using advanced modern technologies such as an online training diary, an online training agenda accessible to coaches, children, and parents to develop children.
The culmination of working with young people is the emerge of the Pinďa Cup golf tour in 2010 - several tournaments spread throughout the season, where children compete for cups and small prizes. Individual tournaments are placed in clubs in West Bohemia and players from other clubs are invited to participate. Children have a comparison and deepen their ability to work together. Every year we organize a summer golf camp for smaller and beginner golfers. For advanced and representative youth players we organize a summer training camp focused on individual game aspects, game psychology and individuality of a player.
Martin Kopčák (mkopcak@golf-horehledy.cz, 775 012 892) is the lead coordinator of childrens training, including the registration of newcomers, do not hesitate to contact him with your questions.

For beginners
Are you attracted to golf? Do you want to try it out, but do not know how? Have you heard how your friends and acquaintances are interested in it? Would you like to know why it takes tens of minutes to know all the experiences they have gained during a single training round on the pitch? These courses are intended for those who have not yet entered the world of golf but would like to do so and find out what the beauty of the sport is.
Play golf change life
An ideal way to reach golf and find out as much information as possible about it. A certified coach will take you in a buggy on the golf course, talk about the history and present of the golf environment, get acquainted with the pricing conditions of this sport and of course you will try it out. And then you can decide if you will continue to improve your technique, for example, by obtaining a "Play Field Certificate".
Become a golfer
You enjoy golf, but you want to know how to play it properly and above all - to play it on any course. In order to do this, it is necessary to obtain a Certificate for playing on the course, which the majority of the golfers will not call otherwise than the Green Card. After completing the course to get it, the player receives his own handicap and becomes a full-fledged golfer!
We try to organize courses individually according to the possibilities of each player, they also include entrances to the course accompanied by a coach, lending the necessary equipment and training balls.

He spent his first two golf seasons under coach Jan Lískovec in Kestřany. Subsequently, he discovered our golf resort on the other side of Brdy mountains, and since than it is his second home. After 6 years of playing golf, he has reached his HI level 5 and still intends to improve it.

Pavel proudly says that even an ordinary bus driver can play and train golf. Sport has always been a part of his life. Since childhood, he has been involved in volleyball, pool and national handball. However, his competitive career was ended by a knee injury, so he decided to pass on his experience as a youth coach at Sokol.
He had been attracted to golf for a long time, but it was a birthday present from his wife that made him finally try it. He was immediately absorbed by the sport, and when he brought his son Kuba to training, he began to devote himself to it fully. A year later, he accepted the challenge and started training with real determination.
Today, he says that golf is his lifestyle, and he likes to show others that anyone can start - regardless of profession or age. Both his sons Kuba and Vašek play golf, just as he brought his wife Petra to it. Pavel takes care of the youngests in the Hořehled training team and co-organizes a golf camp at the end of August.
Michal has been playing golf since 2016, when he was captivated by the game while still a college student. Within two years, he managed to lower his handicap below 20 and currently has an HCP of 8. In 2018, he turned his enthusiasm for this wonderful sport into earning a Class III coach certification and began helping with training children and youth at the Hořehledy Golf Club.
Over the following years, he became an important part of our coaching team and continues to improve his knowledge, for example by earning a Class III referee license in the spring of 2022. In addition, he has now started studying the Czech PGA to deepen his professional knowledge.
Michal is also in charge of our regular summer golf camp and is a member of the Hořehledy Golf Club representation team in the adult category.
Miss Tereza Blažková fell in love with golf seven years ago thanks to her grandmother and immediately gained a great reputation in it. Her HCP is currently just below 10, and we will soon see a further reduction, despite the fact that Tereza has recently been intensively studying mainly university.
In addition to golf, she also focuses on floorball, which she plays for Prague Bohemians and is one of the great hopes of this sport. With her twin sister, they are in charge of the smallest golf hopes of the Golf Club Hořehledy, especially by preparing regular childrens tournaments Pinďa Cup and a childrens golf camp.
But for quality speak mainly actions. So Tereza is a legitimate and quality trainer, among other things, speaks of winning the Club Champion titles from 2010, 2012 and 2013 seasons or participating in the national qualifying round for the Amateur World Championship. Of course, we can be sure that a lot of trophies and successes are still waiting for her.
Barbora Blažková has been a member of the Golf Club Hořehledy since 2006. She started with a golf club in her childs training and from the youngest newcomer she worked her way up to pass on her experience to both children and adults.
And that has something to convey - Bára is a multiple champion of the club (2008, 2009 and 2014), participated in the nationwide round of qualification at the World Golfers Championship. In 2009 she successfully completed training for judge III. class and a year later also a golf instructor course. At the same time, she highly values every victory over her sister Teresa.
The golf course in Hořehledy highlights the friendly environment and individual approach to each visitor. If she is not playing, training or preparing tournaments on the golf course, she, like her sister, is studying college or playing floorball, which she play for the extra league team FbŠ Bohemians.
