First up a special thank you to Junior Captain Blair Hockley and his vice captain Cameron Redden whose commitment to the Section is amazing, they offer to assist all the time and are so encouraging to everyone. Both boys already have their PVG’s and are booked in to do their Child Wellbeing and Protection in Sport qualification before we put them through their PGA Level 1 coaching badges. Conan Reid and Stuart Duncan are following in their footsteps and with Kirsten Miller who is also very involved with mentoring it’s great that we have such a great group of older juniors who want to help and put something back into Golf. Cameron has confirmed he has accepted the position of Apprentice Green Keeper at Strathmore Golf Centre and starts in the summer. First up today was Kaden who joined at the end of last year. He was fitted for a brand new set of GolPhin 134’s just delivered yesterday !! and a trolley all from our Hire Scheme. A pair of golf shoes were supplied so he is fully kitted out. Ellie-Marie who had outgrown her Woodworm starter set was upgraded to GolPhin 728 and wow what a difference, so much so that Dawn has sent her an application form to join the County Girls. She also picked up a great pair of size 1 Footjoys. Her clubs were then passed on to Owen who had outgrown his own set. At 11 o’clock we had 19 juniors in 6 teams raring to go but after 2 holes the heavens opened and we returned to the shelter of the covered driving range where we did a Team Skills Challenge with Luna, Blake and Iain the winners. Dawn, Jackie and I were all so impressed by some of the swings we witnessed today and can’t wait to see the progress these juniors make over the season.
