Renfrewshire Junior coaching at Caldwell Golf Club

RLCGA Junior Coaching at Caldwell GC

Sunday 24th February 2019

Today saw our third organised winter meet up with a lovely dry calm afternoon at Caldwell Golf Club, arranged by Caldwell and RLCGA member Liz Hale, supported by Lynda Bradley [Junior Convenor, Kilmacolm] and led by Club Professional Mark Loftus, grateful thanks to each of them. 

Some of the girls were involved in other sporting activities and some were representing the West of Scotland Girls but we still had 13 enthusiastic young ladies attending.

The session started on the driving range learning the key techniques in shaping the ball and how to influence its flight with discussion around the need for shot making. The girls had a good chance to try this and practice their chipping with some fun targets and hazards. 

We then split into groups and played 7 holes on the shortened course in a Texas scramble format, scoring was very close with the girls enjoying the challenge of the last hole trying to better the score of the previous group. It is lovely to see the girls building friendships session to session.

The next session is planned for Sunday 10th March at Kilmacolm. Looking forward to seeing as many as possible and hopefully some more dry weather, the session will take place outside with a mix of on course and time on the practice facility, remember some warm layers.
