From hoodies to happy-slapping, we have seen plenty of teenage crazes recently - but golf?

The pastime, renowned for its exclusivity, will surely not become the latest youth craze, or will it?

Teenager Johnny Robinson from Birdham, near Chichester, has created a website for junior golfers, encouraging them to take their first swing.

The 15-year-old said: "Many people think golf is for old men or kids with loads of money but it's most definitely not. More and more young people are getting into the sport and I want to help others see golf is a sport for all kinds of people, from all kinds of backgrounds.

"It's true it can be very expensive, but there are ways around that.

There are public courses people can use to practise on, and junior memberships are often subsidised."

Johnny set up the site to help other junior golfers find information about the sport, as well as discuss their passion online.

"Golf should be a sport that is available to all young people. I will be doing what I can to help other young golfers progress.

"I found it very difficult to find out about things when I started to play so I decided I wanted to make it easier for young people to find out about golf and I thought the best way to do this was to start a website just for juniors."

The site, themagicofgolf.com, features discussion forums, as well as tips, photos and videos and listings of all the local and national junior tournaments.
