YOUNGSTERS were in "chipper" mood at a holiday course to improve their golfing skills.

As part of Bromley Council's Buzz programme of events, 50 children "putt" themselves in the capable hands of golf professional Gary Eves.

The fledgling golfers practised their driving, chipping and putting at the council-owned High Elms Golf Course, in one of hundreds of sports events organised for the Easter break.

High Elms' course manager Peter Remy said: "Golf is proving to be very popular.

"They have seen the likes of Tiger Woods and Justin Rose become household names and want to emulate their heroes."
