Burnham-On-Sea golf coach Shane Kaye will be delivering an online putting lesson from his home on Tuesday (May 5th) when thousands of other coaches around the world come together to raise money for the NHS and related charities.
Shane, who is a professional coach at Burnham and Berrow Golf Club, says the aim of the event is to teach 1million people all at the same time using social media live platforms.
He told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “The idea was brought to life across a series of Zoom calls, where the topic of conversation frequently migrated to how to engage coaches and golfers during this time when courses are closed.”
“Ultimately, our goal is to bring coaches and golfers together to show how beneficial it is for everyone to stay connected during this time, but more importantly to do our bit as a community to show our thanks to these front line workers and to support worthy causes around the world.”
“At 2pm on Tuesday May 5th, coaches all around the world will go live through their own social media live accounts and reach as many golfers as possible, each raising money for the chosen charities. After the broadcast has finished coaches will submit how many viewers we had in pursuit of our goal.”
“Lockdown can be lonely for many, and indeed monotonous, so this is a great way to relieve the boredom and to focus on something positive. Also, it’s a great opportunity for golf coaches to come together to raise money for a great cause.”
“We would love to reach 1 million views across the world and raise money for a very worthy cause during these times.”
“You can catch me live on Instagram at Shane_Kaye_Golf at 2pm on Tuesday when I’ll be delivering a putting lesson along with 1000s of other golf coaches around the world.”
