If so we'd love to hear from you! We have lots of opportunities for golfers to volunteer and support junior golf. 

You can get involved at your own club or through our community based programme - ClubGolf East Lothian. 

You can gain your Level 1 coaching license by attending a PGA weekend training course.  Coaches will receive full funding to attend training in return for 20 hours of voluntary coaching in one of our ClubGolf East Lothian progammes. Must be 16yrs or over.

If you aren't sure if you are ready to gain your coaching license then you can still get involved as a ClubGolf helper.  This could involve supporting a PGA Pro or ClubGolf Volunteer coach at coaching session or maybe walking a small group of children round the course at some of our fun competitions. 

If you love golf and would like to encourage children to love it to then we'd love to hear from you!  Please contact Kate Green to discuss supporting East Lothian coaching opportunities further:  kgreen@eastlothian.gov.uk
