DUMBARTONSHIRE GOLF UNION

Dumbartonshire’s Coaching College was launched at Balmore Golf Club on Sunday 7th October, 2007 when the first group comprising ten of the most promising boys drawn from clubs throughout the county were gathered for their first session. See Photograph below. These youngsters were recognised primarily from their performances at talent ID days and the skills test held earlier in the year. It is intended that the structured coaching they will receive under the direction of the County Coach, Bob Collinson, will help them develop their skills to a level where they become capable of competing at club, county and ultimately, national level.

The following boys made up the first intake:-
Matthew Anderson – Douglas Park GC
Lee Gibson – Dumbarton GC
Ewen Ferguson – Bearsden GC
Calum Stenhouse – Windyhill GC
Micheal Giovanetti – Douglas Park GC
Gavin Roger – Clober GC
James Wilson – Hilton Park GC
Craig Chalmers – Lenzie GC
Ryan Skivington – Clydebank & District GC
Daniel Muir – Hayston GC
