GOLF/SHINTY PARTNERSHIP
We're inviting young people aged 8–13 to experience two fantastic sports this summer – golf and shinty. Whether they're completely new to both sports or have played before, this is a brilliant opportunity to learn new skills, have fun and make new friends.
Inspired by golfers such as Bob MacIntyre, who grew up playing both golf and shinty, Scottish Golf and the Camanachd Association are delighted to be working in partnership, with support from sportscotland, to deliver free summer camps.

This partnership between Scottish Golf and the Camanachd Association has been created to give young people in rural Scotland the opportunity to experience two of Scotland's great sports in a fun and inclusive environment.
We are particularly keen to welcome girls, as well as young people who may face barriers to participating in sport, including those who are less physically active or for where the cost of organised sport can be a challenge.
