Fresh investment to increase golf coaching opportunities for Scottish girls
The new investment from the Golf Development Fund, VisitScotland and the R&A will enable the governing body to work in partnership with 60 golf clubs to provide girls across Scotland with beginner level coaching in a fun and friendly environment.
The new hubs will be supported through investment in a PGA professional who will deliver a six-week block of coaching. All hubs will also be provided with access to a new marketing portal that will allow them to promote their sessions locally.
