Junior Coaching
Our Junior winter coaching is well under way at Gailes, week 4 last night and, despite the horrendous weather, we had 24 girls making the most of the facilities and the coaching that we are offering. To see some pictures go to the Junior page on the website.

Past Captains lunch
The Lady Past Captains of ALCGA held their Biennial luncheon at Highgrove House Hotel on Monday 27th January 2020.
Eleven ladies were present representing five decades from the seventies up to the current year. An abundance of talent sat down to lunch with ladies who had represented Ayrshire over the years and two Past Presidents of the former SLGA.
A lovely lunch was served and much chat and reminiscing was enjoyed by all.

Coaching
Some of our senior squad, along with some Juniors and committee members, enjoyed their first coaching session today at Fairways Indoor Arena.
Not only were we able to shelter from the pouring rain but we also made use of the short game area, including bunker practice, long game area and trackman.
A successful morning enjoyed by all those who attended, thanks to resident professional Bobby Rushford for setting up the challenges and his advice.
