Scottish golf club Murrayshall has said it has seen a surge in its junior membership following a drive to encourage more youngsters to try the game of golf in a fun and engaging environment.
As part of a dedicated approach to inspire the next generation of golfers aged between six and 18, the luxury Perthshire estate has seen its junior section rise to 60 members off the back of a successful junior programme. Around half of the new members joined in the last few months, which marks a 42 percent increase since the start of the year.
Under the guidance of head PGA professional Robin Smith, who brings over 35 years of international experience, junior golfers of all skill levels have gained invaluable instruction throughout the school holidays, learning the fundamentals of golf across Murrayshall’s two scenic parkland golf courses and pristine practice areas.
The coaching sessions are specifically designed to help develop essential skills in a fun and informal environment ensuring young golfers remain engaged from the outset. Providing great energy and creativity, the junior programme covers the basics of every facet of the game and helps youngsters build new friendships with other members.
“It’s incredibly encouraging to see such a positive uptake in junior golf at Murrayshall,” said Robin, who has coached in four different continents around the world.
“We’re always looking to make golf easily accessible and appealing to local golfers so seeing more youngsters make use of the best-in-class facilities gives us great pride as they are integral to the future of golf and our long-term vision,” he added.
