"Each programme will feature a visit to two Cornish golf clubs, offer a round-up of local golf news and include a grassroots section for beginners and returners."

First off the tee, Monday's programme will provide an introduction to the Cornwall Golf Partnership, which works to grow the game in the county by encouraging more people to take up the sport.
The inaugural Golf in Cornwall programme will also focus on the China Fleet Golf Club on the banks of the River Tamar at Saltash as well as the county's oldest golf club West Cornwall, at Lelant near St Ives.
Future programmes will promote Cornwall Golf Week, which takes place from April 6-14, when more than 20 clubs will offer free taster sessions for beginners.
