Golf with Clare Queen at the Carrick

In order to raise funds to cover expenses to compete in tournaments on the European Tour, Clare is holding a Golf Day at The Carrick, Loch Lomond on Monday 19th July. The competition is open to all, both male and female and full handicap allowance will be given

Clare says that times are tough at the moment and sponsorship is hard to get so this is a way to raise some funds and at the same time give people a good day out. She would appreciate your support. For details of the Golf Day please click on the links below
