YOUNG GOLFERS SELECTED FOR RENFREWSHIRE DEVELOPMENT SQUAD

Under the watchful eyes of teaching professionals George Boswell, Ian Kennedy and Mark Loftus at Mearns Castle Academy, Renfrewshire’s future star golfers have commenced their programme of coaching which is the first step toward inclusion in the Scottish squad.

Although current evening temperatures are not conducive to outdoor activities, the seventeen selected golfers from throughout the County, ranging in age from 8 year old Aidan O’Hagen to 13 year old Ciaran O’Brien, are showing tremendous enthusiasm.  

In addition, George Boswell is impressed by the skill levels which already exist.  

“It makes our job so much easier when the boys are keen to learn and when they already have many of the basics required.  Our early assessment is that there are a number of very promising boys in the squad and we look forward to assisting Renfrewshire Golf Union in its developmental role”. 

The squad consists of:

Aidan O’Hagen (Old Ranfurly), Harry Kellock and Timothy Erskine (Kilmacolm), Strvan Walker (Mearns Castle), Roddy McCaulay (Fereneze), Alistair Taylor (Gourock), Ciaran O,Brien (Cochrane Castle) Scott Cummings, Liam Kerr and Lee Gillan  (Whinhill), Euan Knox and Jack McCauley (Greenock), Tom Mackenzie, Kerr Webster and Alessandro Schenini (Whitecraigs), Andrew McAlpine (Erskine) and Lewis Greenlees (Paisley)
