DEVELOPMENT OF NEW GOLFERS

After two successful "try out days" at Warrenpoint and Portstewart, three development centres were created in Autumn/ Winter of 2021. The centres are Donaghadee GC, Warrenpoint GC, and Laganview Golf Centre. Training sessions began late last year and after a Christmas break, resumed in early January. There are a total of eight new recruits, 4 at Laganview and two each at the other venues.
