Junior Training Day

11 girls attended a Junior Training Day at Lanark Golf Club yesterday. In the morning they received coaching from Alan White. In the afternoon the girls played the nine hole course for some match play experience along with some of the adult team members, namely Captain May Hughes, Vice Captain Lesley Lloyd and Ruth Rankin.
We were delighted to also have Clare Queen present. She spent some time out on the course with each group giving advice. This was followed by a chat and a photo session in the warmth of the clubhouse.
