at the local Shire Oak School in Brownhills how to play
the game. Each student
in the 15 (plus) strong class has been presented with their
own golf club by Robin Chapman. Former golf professional

Sandy who own and run HGB are keen to put 'something back'
into the sport they love.
Head of Shire Oak's sports department,

are very grateful to Robin and the rest of the Harold Bird

and are our most favoured after school activity".
