JUNIOR COACHING GLENEAGLES

The last of the winter training sessions was held in the sunshine at Gleneagles on Sunday 16th March and it was great to see 11 girls getting involved in County golf. Andrew, the Gleneagles professional provided the coaching on the range and was once again impressed by the golfing ability and enthusiasm shown by all the girls. The putting skills challenges demonstrated some results which promise to give some excellent scores on the course this year.

The coaching hour was followed by a pairs foursomes competition on The Wee Course where all the girls played well.

Thanks go to Gleneagles for the Professional coaching, use of both areas of bays, the putting green and the Wee Course and to Hannah for liaising with them for our winter dates. 

A big thank you also goes to Catherine, Liz, Tony, Gemma, Isla, Eilidh and Laura for their help with the putting challenges and out on the course.

Please keep an eye on the County Facebook and Website for details of more events.

Good luck to everyone for the 2025 season!
