Project Ukraine, an initiative created by nine women from The R&A's Women in Golf Leadership Programme, is thrilled to announce the return of its second coaching camp.
Building upon the success of last year's camp, Project Ukraine aims to support young Ukrainian golfers affected by the continuing war in Ukraine. After witnessing the devastating impact of the war on her homeland, Veronika Rastvortseva, a participant from last year's cohort, was inspired to rally a group of eight determined women from the Women in Golf Leadership Programme to do something to help young Ukrainian golfers. Together, they organised a highly successful coaching camp at the Macdonald Cardrona Hotel Golf & Spa in Scotland, hosting seven talented golfers from the Ukrainian Golf Federation. This year's camp will welcome 13 young golfers from the Ukrainian Golf Federation who will come from across the world, having fled the war, as well as from Ukraine itself.Activities ahead
The camp will take place from 26 June to 1 July and will be hosted by MacDonald Portal Golf and Spa Resort. The coaching camp will deliver an engaging programme designed to enhance the skills of the young golfers and provide them with memorable experiences. The activities will include:- A trip to the Betfred British Masters: The young golfers will have the opportunity to witness top-level golf at the British Masters tournament, gaining inspiration from the world's best players.
- Coaching by top quality coaches: Golf coaches will provide expert guidance and training, helping the young golfers refine their techniques and improve their games.
- An event with local juniors: A special golf event will bring together members from Portal Golf and Spa Resort and junior players from Hill Valley Golf Club. This event will provide a competitive and fun opportunity for participants to showcase their skills and enjoy the camaraderie of the golfing community. In the evening, a raffle will be held to raise further funds for the project.
- Ample practice opportunities: The camp will offer plenty of practice time for the young golfers to refine their skills and showcase their talent.
