Dr John Hunter from Putting Plus said "The healthy benefits for Putting include improved hand /eye coordination, visual perception, motor skills, and spatial awareness as well as getting out in the fresh air."

He added "Please note that if the weather is doubtful a message will be left on the weather line 07471 914 725 to confirm if the event is going ahead."

See Putting Plus and Dementia Friendly Prestwick for further info.

We visited Prestwick while in Scotland for the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too kind on the particular afternoon we were on the prom, so we didn't get to play the fine looking seafront Putting course.
