Westwood and Clarke to hold junior clinic

Ware, Herts - Ryder Cup stars Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke, first and second in the Deutsche Bank - SAP Open TPC of Europe in Hamburg on Monday, team up to coach a group of junior golfers on Friday.

The two close friends will take part in a special clinic for juniors after playing their second rounds in the National Car Rental English Open at Hanbury Manor, Ware, Hertfordshire.

Hanbury Manor is the home of the Golf Foundation, and the clinic is part of the Foundation's £1.3 million Starter Centre Initiative, a nationwide programme designed to attract more youngsters to the sport.

More than 70 children aged between six and 18 will take part, and Westwood said: "The help I received from the Golf Foundation was invaluable, and I am only too happy to be able to repay them this way."
