Free golf taster session at Bridlington Golf Club
Bridlington Golf Club are putting on a free taster session this Saturday, from 2pm to 4pm.
Everyone is welcome to the club on Saturday, all ages, experiences and abilities.
Bridlington Golf Club member Jonquil Boyes: “I am heading up a recruitment campaign to get women into golf.
"I am trying to break down barriers and change the image of what a female golfer looks like. There is still the belief that it’s a man’s game and women are not welcome. Through our taster sessions we are showing women that golf is accessible and possible!!
"Our next taster session is on Saturday, April 11, from 2pm to 4pm. The coaching is with golf professional Ivan Oliver.
“Golf offers so many health benefits apart from the obvious of being outdoors and getting exercise. There’s a social side to golf that helps with loneliness and isolation. In fact last year we had a lady take up golf at the age of 78 years and she can certainly hit good shots!
“Some of our lady members are late 80s and playing regularly. We are in line with England Golf, our governing body and making huge efforts to get more women into golf.
“Last year we recruited six new members to the club and we have another four ladies on our golf academy pathway.”
