Aspiring junior golfers invited to Gleneagles
PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ROB EYTON-JONES
clubgolf, the national junior golf programme which has introduced over two-thirds of Scotland’s primary school children to the game this year, is expecting as many as 400 youngsters to converge on its coaching stand at Gleneagles this week.
Launched at Gleneagles in 2003 as a lasting legacy to Scotland’s successful bid to host the Ryder Cup, clubgolf is a partnership of the Scottish Golf Union, the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association, the Professional Golfers' Association, the Golf Foundation and sportscotland,
Junior coaching this week is part of Gleneagles’ and the European Tour’s commitment to promoting junior golf in Scotland through clubgolf.
This summer’s European Tour events, the Senior Open at Troon and the Scottish Challenge at Cardrona, have all featured clubgolf coaching.
For the fifth year in succession Gleneagles has given hundreds of the clubgolf children the opportunity to experience Gleneagles this summer after offering participating clubs the chance to play on its Wee Course between June and October.
This week at Gleneagles, clubgolf’s coaching stand in the tented village will be the centre of attention for budding young golfers. PGA Professionals and qualified clubgolf volunteer coaches will be on hand to teach the short and long game to 250 children who have been invited from schools and clubs across Scotland. A further 150 coaching places are available to the public, to be booked at the clubgolf stand.
Patrick Elsmie, Gleneagles’ Operations Director, said, “Gleneagles has always been committed to golf and we are thrilled to be a part of the clubgolf initiative. We hope to be able to help them in achieving their goal of allowing every child in Scotland to experience the game by the age of nine.
“As the venue for the Ryder Cup in 2014 it is important that Gleneagles continues to work closely with organizations like clubgolf to ensure that the game of golf in Scotland and our young people reap the benefits of playing host to such a prestigious tournament”.
