‘ Incredible opportunit­y’: Pupils treated to golf day

-

MORE than 700 children across Glasgow and South Lanarkshir­e teed off during a free golf session this week.

Youngsters were given compliment­ary access to Topgolf Glasgow as they geared up for the spring half term.

The high- tech sports entertainm­ent venue welcomed pupils from across the city and Rutherglen to enjoy the sessions, providing a dose of end- ofterm fun for kids aged five to eight as the Easter holidays approach.

Among the schools that participat­ed was Rutherglen’s Burgh Primary School.

Miss Kinloch, acting principal teacher at the school, said: “This has been an incredible opportunit­y for our students.

“I have a feeling they’ll be talking about this for a long time yet, and judging by how much they all enjoyed themselves, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were at Topgolf all Easter long.”

Simon Green, director of operations at Topgolf Glasgow, described the week as “a blast.”

He said: “We hope this has kickedoff the kid’s Easter holidays in a memorable way for everyone involved.

“We love playing an active role in our communitie­s and this is a way of truly making connection­s with our neighbours and becoming further embedded into the fabric of Glasgow, Rutherglen, and South Lanarkshir­e.”

Over the school break, Topgolf Glasgow opens from 10am on weekdays and 9am weekends, offering high- tech games and challenges in

climate- controlled bays on one of their three stories.

On Easter Sunday, March 31, visitors can also look forward to special treats and half- price gameplay every Tuesday.

The leisure centre is also working with charity partner Healthy n Happy to support vulnerable individual­s in Rutherglen and Cambuslang by offering fun and

purposeful activities to aid their mental and physical health.
