Top coach Karyn Dallas invests £10,000 in
new equipment at her Kirriemuir club base
PRESS RELEASE
Ex National coach Karyn Dallas has much to be proud of as she moves into 2009.
The announcement that despite pouring millions into junior golf over the past five years has had little impact on the numbers of juniors joining clubs, Kirriemuir Golf Club, where Karyn quietly develops her Tg54 coaching programme quietly, continues to buck the trend.
Little has been said about the success of this programme which sees Kirriemuir Golf Club have a 130-strong junior section of which 31 are girls, backed up by a healthy waiting list. There are also 170+ children currently on her junior coaching programme. And these kids are blossoming as evidenced when a 14-year-old girl won the Ladies Scratch Championship in 2008 and with three Kirriemuir players expected to make up half of Angus’s Under-14 boys team in 2009.
At the elite end of Karyn’s programme we saw Roseanne Niven win the 2008 British Ladies Stroke-play Championship, but what was significant is that Roseanne’s win makes it four years in a row that players coached at Kirriemuir have either won a Scottish or British title.
2009 will see a further two players from the Kirriemuir stable head to tour school, Pamela Feggans and Karyn Burns.
Dallas is convinced that both have the potential to join another of her players, Jenna Wilson, on the 2009 LET circuit.
2008 was significant milestone for Karyn’s programme, when two of Scotland’s finest young male golfers signed up for tuition. Stereo typing has meant that until now it has been mainly women who have gone to Karyn but the recent success of the junior boys and their technical excellence has brought the programme to the attention of some of Scotland’s fine young male golfers.
Dallas continues to drive her programme forward and is investing around £10,000 in 2009 on new equipment that she feels is vital if her players are to compete at the top end of world golf. New software is being introduced to improve distance coaching, force plates are being integrated into her video analysis programme as well as a new launch monitor.
The investment will make Kirriemuir Golf Club one of the world’s most advanced coaching establishments with a teaching facility unrivalled in the United Kingdom.
