News / Golfing legend opens junior driving range
SCOTTISH golfing legend Paul Lawrie OBE will be in Shetland on Wednesday to open new junior golf facilities at Shetland Golf Club, just outside Lerwick.
The former Open Champion will also host a question and answer session with the club’s juniors and play some holes with them.
The new facility, funded by £5,000 from sportscotland, comprises a junior driving range, practice nets, mats and three greens for pitching and putting.
The investment is the culmination of years of hard work by club members who became qualified volunteer coaches and were able to increase the number of junior s from 26 to now 80.
