The clubs have already completed their child protection policies and are now in the process of qualifying volunteers from within the club to UKCC level 1 who will deliver the weekly coaching sessions to the participants.

Forfar Golf Club Secretary and Level 1 coach Stuart Wilson commented. Forfar Golf Club view clubgolf as a vital element in introducing potential new members to the golf club, who will hopefully become the lifeblood of the club for coming years.
