Headline: Shot Scope takes aim at West Lothian High Schools Championship
re-launch of the West Lothian High Schools Golf Championship has had
another boost this week as world-renowned local golf brand Shot Scope
Technologies have joined the Stephen Gallacher Foundation as competition
sponsors.
the Stephen Gallacher Foundation has paid the entry fees for all
potential 72 players in the competition, Shot Scope have ensured the
players will be fully fuelled to play their best golf by covering the
costs of the breakfast rolls and lunch catering for the players and
accompanying teachers on the day.
Golf Club Junior Convenor, Colin McLean, told us “We were keen to
ensure that we provided some sort of catering for the players as we know
that some pupils in our county may be in receipt of free school meals
and we didn’t want to have anyone in the competition miss out on this
provision.
Scope are a West Lothian based company and their staff play at many
golf clubs across the county. They didn’t hesitate to provide this
support for the rejuvenation of the High Schools Championship. They have
also offered some products to supplement our prizes on the day which is
incredible.
really taking my breath away that two high profile West Lothian groups
have been so positive about joining with us and helping to give the
competition a real ‘event’ feel.”
Commercial Officer at Shot Scope Technologies, Gavin Dear, said “As a
local business, Shot Scope is proud to support the return of the West
Lothian High Schools Golf Championship at Pumpherston after an
eight‑year pause. This event has always been a highlight of the junior
golfing calendar across the region, and helping to bring it back
reflects Shot Scope's commitment to growing the game at every level."
