NATIONAL COACH MAKES SURPRISE DECISION TO BECOME SELF-EMPLOYED

KEVIN CRAGGS TO QUIT SLGA

 POST AT END OF AUGUST

Kevin Craggs, the Scottish Ladies Golf Association's national coach for the past eight years, is to leave the post at the end of August, according to the Bunkered magazine website.

Craggs has decided to leave his position and become self-employed as a golf coach.

"I just feel that, because of the lack of depth in the ladies' game in Scotland just now, this is the perfect time for me to explore different avenues and focus on the 'KC' brand," said Craggs.
"Unfortunately, ladies' and girls' golf is lacking numbers at the moment and, with the trend amongst most of our top players to move to the USA, there is a lack of elite golfers based here in Scotland to work with.

"I'd like to thank the SLGA for giving me this wonderful opportunity and I would like to emphasise that this decision has been totally amicable. I will be glad to assist the organisation in the future in any way that I can but, right now, it is time for me to explore other opportunities."

One of Craggs' pupils, Kylie Walker, recently scored her first win on the ELadies European Tour.
