Vincent Garcia teaching Michael Murphy at Dalmahoy

A lesson from Dalmahoy Seniors

Twenty budding golfers from Baberton and Turnhouse Golf Clubs had an hour with the pros at the Charles Church Scottish Seniors at Dalmahoy on the weekend.

The children, all on clubgolf programmes and invited to the event by the national junior golf strategy, were put through their paces by event’s competitors Morris Bembridge, Bob Cameron, Ross Drummond, John Chillas, Vincent Garcia and Bobby Lincoln.

Michael Morgan, a second year student of the Turnhouse Clubgolf programme, was inspired by his coaching session from Vincent Garcia, father and former coach to 2007 Open finalist, Sergio Garcia.

“He is a really good coach and he showed me how to end my shots and how hard I should hit the ball,” said Michael.  “I’ve got one lesson left at Turnhouse this week and I will practice all that I’ve learnt.  Hopefully I’ll get better.”

Iain Holt, Turnhouse Junior Convenor added:  “To have an hour’s coaching from top European Seniors was a great experience for our juniors and they all enjoyed themselves tremendously.   We’re very thankful for them to them for spending time with our 12 juniors and grateful to clubgolf for inviting us.”
