Golf clubs across Cheshire are helping people spring into summer.

Anyone interested in giving golf a go now the better weather is on the way will be able to take advantage of the latest Get into golf initiatives, which offer the chance to benefit from top class coaching from the county’s PGA professionals.

Says Craig Thomas, development officer for the Cheshire County Golf Partnership: “With the weather starting to warm up, everyone is looking to make more of the great outdoors – and golf is an ideal way to do that.

“Golf is such a good game for increasing your amount of regular exercise while also making new friends.

“These sessions offer the ideal opportunity to give the sport a try. Thanks to the support of the clubs and PGA professionals anyone interested in trying golf should be able to find a course to suit them close to home – and with new clubs coming on board all the time the Get into Golf website will provide all the latest information.

 “Golf is a great sport that can be enjoyed with friends or family and it is never too late or early to give it a go.

“So why not get out of the house and see what Cheshire’s clubs have to offer with the chance to enjoy expert tuition for free.”

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.
