Women keen to try their hand at the sport of golf are invited to sign up for the ‘Get Into Golf for Women’ sessions to be held at Castlemaine Golf Club next month.
You can expect to learn a few basics of golf, meet the members and enjoy some wine and refreshments.
The sessions will kick off on on Monday October 7 from 4.30pm. The cost is $5 per session.
Sessions continue for the following four Mondays. These will be followed on November 11 and 18 with a social hit with club members playing several holes. The program is funded by the Victorian Department of Sport from the Change the Game Program.
Club member Peggy Ronnau said these Monday afternoons would be ones to remember.
“The benefits are golf are many; fitness, lovely walks, a few laughs and maybe even hitting the ball straight once in a while. Golf can also help increase your range of movement and flexibility, improve upper, mid and lower body conditioning and even your cardiovascular health,” Peggy said.
“Golf is a really social sport and we’re finding that golf is creating friendships on and off the course. The sessions are interactive and have excellent coaching so you’ll get to know your fellow participants and you can expect a few laughs along the way.”
Each Get into Golf session has about 12-15 participants. The approach includes a lot of games, so you’ll learn without even realising that’s what is happening.
“Sessions are run by club members and we have a golf pro so you will get the correct basics. Depending on interest we will continue with more sessions to suit the group,” Peggy said.
“Sessions will include warm up exercises, learning the golf grip, trying out your swing, hitting the ball and a few putting games.”
Enjoy the spring and wear comfortable clothes and shoes and bring water bottle.
