A new partnership between The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Scottish Golf to develop the country’s next generation of junior players was launched recently at Gleneagles by golfing legend Jack Nicklaus and First Minister Alex Salmond.

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has agreed a three-year partnership with Scottish Golf to support its national junior golf programme clubgolf. Launched in 2003 as part of Scotland’s successful bid to stage the Ryder Cup in 2014, clubgolf has the objective of introducing every primary school child to golf by the age of nine. The collaboration will see RBS provide further infrastructure and support for the scheme, which is also benefiting from the backing of the bank’s global ambassador Jack Nicklaus, who designed the Gleneagles course that will host the Ryder Cup in three years.

Jack Nicklaus joins pupils from Auchterder Community School to launch RBS sponsorship of clubgolf.
