FALKIRK FREE GOLF INITIATIVE FOR JUNIORS ON WEE COURSE
NEWS RELEASE
Falkirk Golf Club have recently undertaken an initiative to encourage more children to play golf by offering free membership.
Falkirk Golf Club is one of the few courses in Scotland that offer a parkland 18- hole course along with a nine-hole par-3 course (the Wee Course) developed for the encouragement of juniors.
All juniors will enjoy free golf on the Wee Course if their parent or guardian (male or female) is a full member.
The club is recognised as having one of the leading Junior sections in the Central belt and has developed several junior international players to date, both boys and girls, and recently was the holder of all Stirlingshire's golf championships, team and individual, a remarkable feat.
Allan Bryson, Junior Convener, said: “A great deal of time and effort goes into the running of the coaching and development of the juniors but to see their enjoyment is well worth it.”
Free clubgolf coaching is also available, utilising the extensive practice facilities at the club run by Stewart Craig, a European Tour coach.
Billy Crozier, Falkirk Golf Club captain, commented: “We are hoping that this initiative will help boost the club membership as well as benefit local golf talent. This is a very friendly club who take pride in their junior section.”
The club has also vowed to help juniors make the transition from junior to full membership by introducing a new category with discounted fees between the age of 23 and 30.
Falkirk Golf Club are one of the first clubs to introduce this new category. The club captain said: “We recognise that this is a difficult time for young adults. Therefore, we have introduced this to try and allow young golfers to be part of the club.”
This new category is open to new and existing members.
