'Clubgolf' doubles up
at Scottish Golf Show

Youngsters visiting the 2008 Scottish Golf Show will be pleased to learn that the clubgolf junior practice area has doubled in size compared to last year.

Scotland’s national junior golf strategy, clubgolf, will host a junior practice area at the show, giving many youngsters the chance to experience golf for the first time in a safe environment.

The Scottish Golf Show will take place at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston, near Edinburgh, on April 4-6. All children under the age of 16 are guaranteed free entry if accompanied by a paying adult.

Launched by Colin Montgomerie in 2003, clubgolf has been a huge success, with 26,000 nine-year-olds being introduced to the sport in 2007 alone.

Torquil McInroy, clubgolf Project Manager, said: “The Scottish Golf Show gives us a fantastic opportunity to showcase clubgolf – Scotland’s national junior golf programme - to Scotland’s golfers.

“With this year’s activity, we’ll have lots of fun and games for children visiting the show as well as the chance for parents and other golfers to see how they can get involved with our volunteer coaching programme.

“Clubgolf has been a part of the Scottish Golf Show since the first event and we look forward to working at the biggest and best one yet!”

Ross Duncan, Marketing and Sponsorship Manager at the Scottish Golf Union, said: “The Scottish Golf Union is delighted to be involved with the 2008 Scottish Golf Show following the success of our activity at last year’s event. Once again clubgolf will be running the children’s activity area and we will have some fantastic prizes to give away.

“We look forward to many golfers visiting our stand for information on SGU national events and handicap championships, our new website and much, much more.”
