GIRLS GOLF ROCKS IN WARWICKSHIRE
Girls’ golf will get rocking in Warwickshire when a campaign starting very soon aims to inspire new players to have fun, learn a new sport, get active and play alongside friends – with no pressure. Girl golfers from the county squad will act as ambassadors, sharing their enjoyment and inspiring the newcomers.
The project tees off with FREE TASTER SESSIONS for girls aged five to 18, followed by coaching courses with PGA professionals, together with all-important support from the ambassadors.
TASTER sessions will be held at:
• Robin Hood Golf Club – Saturday 7 April 2-4pm
• Stonebridge Golf Club – Sunday 8 April 12-2pm
• Lea Marston Golf Club– Wednesday 4 April 6-7pm & Saturday 7 April 12-1pm
• Leam Valley/ Rugby Golf Club – Sunday 8 April 10-12pm
The sessions are open to all girls, regardless of whether or not they have an impairment, to try golf in a fun and supportive environment. To find out more and book a visit click on the following website: www.warwickshiregolf.com/wlcga_girlsgolfrocks
Following the tasters, each of the clubs will offer a five-week coaching course with PGA professionals. Then on 10th June, the new players will be invited to a fun day with the ambassadors at Lea Marston Hotel, Golf & Spa, which will feature multi-skills challenges and the chance to play on a golf course.
Warwickshire is one of six new counties to join the national campaign, run jointly by England Golf and the Golf Foundation, with U.S Kids providing equipment for the girls. It aims to increase the number of girl golfers from the average of just two full members per club and it’s having a great impact. When Girls Golf Rocks ran in 15 counties in 2017 over 850 girls had a go at the Taster sessions, with more than 730 enjoying it so much they went on to take coaching courses.
Hannah CRUMP, who is Warwickshire’s Junior Organiser and a Girls Golf Rocks coach at Robin Hood Golf Club, commented: “This is my opportunity to share my love and passion for the game with young girls who may never have thought they'd get the chance to know what golf is.”
The ambassadors include Zara HOUGHTON, 14, from Copt Heath Golf Club, who said: “Being a part of Girls Golf Rocks means that I can show other girls the fun and friendship that golf has brought to my life.”
