Golf stars of the future are competing at some of the north’s leading courses in a second winter programme for young players being run by the Paul Lawrie Foundation.
The group’s Winter Series, launched in the Highlands last year, is aimed at helping junior players continue to play competitive golf between November and March.
It is supported by Highland Golf Links (HGL), a partner organisation which includes three leading links courses – Nairn, Royal Dornoch Golf Club and Castle Stuart Golf Links – as well as three major hotels, and is aimed at promoting golf and tourism in the area.
All three HGL courses feature in this winter’s programme which teed off at Nairn last month and continues on Sunday at Tain Golf Club and the other members in the new year.
The series is a stroke play competition for boys and girls who were under 18 on 1 January this year.
HGL chairman Fraser Cromarty said: “We all recognise the importance of supporting junior golf and we are delighted to help Paul and the foundation develop the second Winter Series in the Highlands.
“Last year’s events were a great success and we are looking forward to again seeing the young golfers testing their skills on some of the finest courses in the Highlands.”
Michael MacDougall, manager of the Paul Lawrie Foundation, added: “We are delighted to again have all the HGL courses among such a strong group of high quality courses hosting our events.”
