clubgolf programme

The clubgolf programme was launched in 2003 to fulfil the Scottish Government’s promise to provide every child in Scotland with an opportunity to experience golf,
part of Scotland’s commitment to the game which formed part of the successful
bid to host the 2014 Ryder Cup.

The introductory game firstclubgolf is now well established across the country,
and provides children with an opportunity to experience golf in Primary School.

clubgolf offers children a structured programme which supports their early development as golfers. clubgolf is aligned to Scottish Golf’s Player Pathway, ensuring opportunities for talented players to progress further based on their potential, commitment and achievement.
