Junior golf in East Lothian needs your support!!!
clubgolf coaching and fun competitions are only possible with the support of  volunteers. Without volunteers we won’t be able to offer all children the opportunity to play golf and at low costs. 
 
If you would like to support at coaching sessions, train to become a coach or help at future fun competitions please contact me. You don’t need to be a great golfer or have lots of free time to commit …. ever hour helps!
 
Clubgolf continues to grow in East Lothian but without our dedicated volunteers this would not be possible. A huge thanks to everyone for their time and continued support this season.
