Cheshire Clubs Join Get into Golf Drive

Golf clubs in Cheshire are making sure that no-one has any excuse to give up on their New Year’s resolutions to get fit or try a new hobby.

More clubs have announced plans to hold special Get into golf sessions as part of the nationwide campaign to help people of all ages and abilities into a sport that offers both health and social benefits.

Chorlton cum Hardy GC, in Barlow Hall Road, is staging a five-week course aimed at lady beginners, starting on Thursday, March 6 (10am-11am). Equipment is provided for the group coaching sessions which cost just £25.

Shrigley Hall GC, near Macclesfield, is offering five group sessions for retired people from Monday, March 3, for £25, while adults classes will start on Saturday, April 5 (2pm-3pm). Juniors will have the chance to try golf for free at a taster session on March 8 (3pm-4pm). Further details from the club’s PGA professional Anthony Herbert on 01625 575757.

Coaching lessons for lady beginners are also being held at Hale GC in Rappax Road.

Get into golf is a national campaign to inspire adults to take up the game and is run by the England Golf Partnership through its network of County Golf Partnerships, supported by Sport England and National Lottery funding.

Get into golf opportunities include FREE taster session and low-cost beginner courses with PGA professionals. They are a fun and sociable way to start golf – and a great way to make new friends.
