Summer of Sport at Cowal 🏌️‍♀️🏑

We were delighted to host our part of the Summer of Sport partnership between Scottish Golf and the Camanachd Association at Cowal Golf Club.

We had 18 children up for a golf camp and they got stuck into putting, chipping and hitting irons. Great to see so many young faces giving it a go and having fun on the course.

A big thank you to Club Captain Liam O’Loughlin, Match & Handicap Secretary John Cairns, and Andy Holland from Innellan Golf Club for putting the day on for the children.

And thanks to The Sweet Spot Dunoon for providing lunch for the kids before they headed off to Shinty Camp 👏

A fantastic day showcasing two great Scottish sports. Well done to everyone involved!
