Meldrum House pro’s new SGU post

The Scottish Golf Union has confirmed that Neil Marr, head professional at Meldrum House Country Hotel near Aberdeen, has been appointed head coach for the SGU’s national under-18s boys’ squad.  

“It’s a great honour to be given this role with such an exciting national squad,” said Marr.

 “My work at Meldrum, and as an academy coach, is all about providing a tailored coaching programme to help individuals progress and improve. This is the same approach I’II take when working with the country’s most promising golfers.” 

As well as heading up the coaching staff at the 24-acre practice facility at Meldrum House, Marr has also helped develop some of Scotland’s brightest golfing prospects including the 2009 national men’s and boys’ champion David Law.

He now joins a highly experienced team of professionals which will include Adam Hunter, head coach for the under-16s squad, and Kevin Cademy-Taylor who is the SGU’s new performance development manager.

Steve Paulding, performance manager for the SGU, welcomed the trio of recent appointments: “Having undertaken an exhaustive selection process we are delighted to welcome Kevin, Adam and Neil into these new roles in what is an exciting development for Scottish golf.

“Each of them brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to their respective roles and ensures we will continue to enhance the support we offer to the country’s best young players.”
