Winter training for the Swedish Federation has begun as a team of young elite players with their 2 coaches enjoyed a sunny week working hard on their games here at Arcos Gardens. They particularly enjoyed using the driving range and the fast greens out on the course.
The SGF will be sending out a group a week to Arcos Gardens for most of the winter. "It is great to see such good young talent out here, I certainly won't be playing any of them for money" says Ashley Northridge the golf director of Arcos Gardens
