Hull, who developed her short game as a teenager at the Bedfordshire course, used the club simulator to show the juniors how to warm-up, before going out on to the course to teach them how to hit bunker shots, chips, putts and iron play.
With the world number eight being an ambassador for The Shires Junior Golf Tour, the three youngsters earned the opportunity to meet last year’s runner-up in the British Open and US Open, after winning their respective divisions in the 2023 Shires Grand Final.
