TOUR players Jenna Wilson and Pamela Feggans played an exhibition match for the junior golfers at Kirriemuir Golf Club on Monday in what was a real coup for the youngsters.
Wilson, who plays on the Ladies European Tour and Feggans, who plays her golf on the US Futures Tour, are both coached at Kirriemuir by Karyn Dallas.

Speaking after Monday's event Karyn said: "It is rare to get both girls together at this time of year and when I realised it coincided with the children's summer holidays I thought this was an ideal opportunity for them to see what can be achieved."

The children are all part of Karyn's Tg54.com coaching program, the same program used by both Pros to develop their games.

Jenna took the 200 mile detour on her way to Oxfordshire where she will be competing in the Ladies English Open later this week.

She was delighted to help out at Kirriemuir saying: "What Karyn has achieved here is unbelievable.

"I am only too happy to do this for her; the standard of the children here is mind blowing.

"I can't believe the Ladies championship was won at the weekend by a junior who just turned 15 two days ago!"

Jenna will be joined at the English Open by Roseanne Niven, another player on the program who is having a wonderful season finishing second in last week's Ladies Irish Amateur Championship and a semi finalist in the previous week's British Ladies Match play championship.

Pamela Feggans has taken two weeks out of her tour schedule to visit her parents in Patna, Ayrshire and to spend a week at Kirriemuir with Karyn to work on her game.

Pamela's coaching is normally done via the internet but she felt it would be better to have a more hands on coaching at this time.
Of Monday's game Pamela said: "It was a good laugh and the kids seemed to enjoy it.

"I must admit it was quite nerve racking to look up from the tee and see all these small faces staring at you, but it was nice."

Karyn continues to build her coaching program at Kirriemuir Golf Club where she is delighted at the progress of the players at all levels.

She said: "If someone had told me six years ago when this all started that we would have tour players and national champions I would not have believed them, but it has happened and when I look around at the talent coming through I am so excited at the thought that this really is just the beginning!"
