AYRSHIRE UNDER 16 & UNDER 18 COACHING

The Ayrshire Under 16 and Under 18 squads have a coaching session at Inverclyde on Sunday 6th September and all participants in the sessions have been contacted by letter.

As many of the participants will be aware, this date now clashes with the re arranged Ardeer Boys Open.

The coaching session is a very important part of the ongoing squad development programme and consequently we would strongly encourage all selected players to attend.

All selected players will be aware which session they are selected for, either from 1000 - 1200 or 1300 - 1500.

The Association are also mindful however that the Ardeer Boys Open is the final Order Of merit counting event.

As a consequence arrangements have been made with the Ardeer Secretary, Peter Watson, who has agreed in principal to endevour to give or re arrange times for participating players in order to accommodate their participation in the relevant coaching session as well.

For those chasing Order Of Merit points it may be relevant to note that, after the loss of the tournament sponsor last year, the number of prizes will be reduced from 7 to 3 this year, in line with the corresponding senior Order Of Merit.

Players who have not yet entered the Ardeer Boys Open and now wish to do so may also be similarly accommodated.

Arrangements for revised tee times can be made by contacting Peter Watson on 07879 273704 or at the club on 01294 464542.

For the avoidance of any doubt, The Association fully expect all selected players to attend the relevant coaching session which has been arranged at considerable expense to The Association, but hopefully our efforts along with Ardeer will allow thos who wish to take part in both events.
