High Life Highland Active Schools staff teamed up with Cabot Highlands last week to offer an exciting afternoon of junior golf in partnership with Scottish Golf. The Junior Golf Skills Challenge, held at the Golf Park and practice putting green close to Inverness, brought together budding golfers from six local primary schools: Ardersier, Balloch, Cradlehall, Croy, Duncan Forbes, and Smithton.
The afternoon gave young participants a unique opportunity to develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment. The initiative also allowed Cabot Highlands to showcase its facilities and reaffirm its commitment to promoting golf at the grassroots level.
Stefanie Whyte of Cabot Highlands said: “We were delighted to welcome local primary school children to the Golf Park and putting green this week where everyone had a lot of fun. Importantly, the event highlighted that Cabot Highlands is not just a world-class golfing venue, but also a welcoming one, with reduced green fees available to residents in the Highlands. Through events like these, Cabot Highlands continues to make golf more accessible and inclusive for future generations.”
David Shaw, Active Schools Coordinator added: “Active schools is all about getting more children more active more often and giving them opportunities to try new sports and activities, so being able to bring a group of local children to a special venue like this – which is right on their doorstep – is fantastic. We hope to be able to work with Cabot Highlands in the future to deliver more accessible golfing events.”
