clubgolf at Melville Golf Centre
Melville Golf Centre Open Day for junior golfers in Midlothian
Melville Golf Centre, which has signed up to the national junior golf development programme, clubgolf, is holding an Open Day for juniors on Saturday 29 March (from 10.00am to 1.00pm).
The Open Day will include putting and pitching lessons for boys and girls. There will be free competitions for children aged between eight and twelve years old, and an opportunity to win a free place on the Centre’s clubgolf Summer Term programme and free rounds of golf at Melville Golf Course, starting 12 April.
“We are hoping that around 100 children will come along for the morning,” said Centre Manager, Alastair Macfarlane.
“This would be ideal for primary school children that are having clubgolf coaching at school this coming term and are looking to progress to the next stage.”
Emerging out of Scotland’s successful bid to host the Ryder Cup, clubgolf is a partnership between the Scottish Golf Union, the Scottish Ladies' Golfing Association, the Professional Golfers' Association, the Golf Foundation and sportscotland. The programme has been developed as a direct result of the Scottish Government’s commitment to introduce every nine-year-old child in Scotland to golf.
Melville Golf Centre joined clubgolf last year and to two of its members are PGA Level 1 volunteer coaches. Together with the Centre’s PGA professional, they will be running clubgolf Stage 1 coaching programmes this summer.
“We started clubgolf a year ago and before that we were with the Golf Foundation for nine years,” said Mr Macfarlane
“We are a family centre so we have all the facilities set up for children and we have a pro that is committed to coaching the children.
“We are hoping to get as many children as many as possible to our coaching over the spring and summer so the Open Day will be an opportunity for them to get out and join the fun.”
