SCOTTISH LADIES GOLFING ASSOCIATION Limited
PRESS RELEASE

SCOTTISH WOMEN GOLFERS SIGN TOP GOLF COACH

TOP European coach KEVIN CRAGGS is the new driving force behind Scotland’s female golfers.

The Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association Limited (SLGA) has appointed the highly respected PGA professional as their new national coach as they aim to further improve the skills of their talented young stars.

Kevin, who also doubles as the Daily Record’s Golf Doctor, a teacher for Bunkered Magazine and a commentator for BBC Radio Scotland, can’t wait to get to work helping Scotland’s best women golfers to lower their score on the course.

Kevin, who has coached several top professional golfers and was recently voted one of the top 25 golf coaches in the UK and Ireland by Golf Monthly, said: “I am thrilled to be joining the SLGA.

“Scotland has some excellent young female golf stars waiting to burst on to the scene. I am confident I can equip them with all that they need to play against the best in the world. I can’t wait to start work.

“The SLGA recognise the potential they have in these players and are very forward looking, that is why I had no hesitation in joining their organisation.
It will be my job to hone the players’ golf skills and also their mental attitude in order to make the best of their existing talent and give them a vital edge while they play in competitions. I will relish this challenge.”

Margaret MacNaughtan, Chairman of the SLGA, said: “It’s great news that Kevin has agreed to join us to strengthen our talented staff. He is one of the best coaches around and many top professionals on the European Tour come to him for advice.

“He is also a people person and makes anyone he coaches feel relaxed and at ease, which helps him get the best possible results. Our golfers really have hit the jackpot with Kevin’s appointment because they will receive the best advice, coaching and support from a master craftsman.”
