The Activities Advanced Golf Group were extremely delighted with the contribution of time that was donated by Mr. Stuart Syme PGA Professional, to provide Tuition which took place at Brighouse Bay Golf centre, the group really benefited from his expertise and Knowledge, it was especially pleasing as Stuart knew all the pupils from the upper school and was able to consolidate the progress from precious Kirkcudbrightshire coaching and was delighted to so much talent within the group. Brighouse bay was an ideal location as its practice area is so well suited to group tuition with wall to wall sunshine, everyone had a fantastic day thanks to the Kirkcudbrightshire Golfing Association.

As Junior Conveyor at Kirkcudbright Golf Club i would like to confirm that we have now completed our 5 hour coaching allocation with James Erskin, Funded by the KGA and offer our sincere thanks for you support of Junior Golf in the area.

James managed to spread time across almost 30 junior golfers of vaying levels; from beginners aged 7upwards to single player handicaps and was thouroughlt enjoyed. i think they all took something away from the sessions and will use it to improve thiere play.

Unfortunatly Mother Nature didn't favour us on the day in question and it looked like being quite a washout, however i made a call to Mr. Gillespie at Brighouse Bay and he allowed us to use his covered driving range, this prevented us from having to postpone the event.

we were very grateful for the coaching provided through the assocation and would be delighted to include it again in the future.

Any club golfer interesting in becoming a course rater should contact John Watson as per contact details.
