Get into Golf

GET INTO GOLF FOR LADIES

Get into Golf is an initiative and collaboration developed between Whitburn Golf Club Ltd and their PGA Professional to inspire new ladies to take up golf and become part of our club.

Both Taster and programmed sessions will be delivered by our experienced P.G.A. Professional Stephen McNally. Sessions are delivered here at Whitburn Golf Club, we run various courses throughout the year.

Joining our programme leads to a very attractive offer to become established as a member of Whitburn Golf Club.

Taster Sessions

I am proposing to run 3 x 1-hour taster sessions for the ladies’ section to assist with membership recruitment for the new season. To Launch in May, June and July and link with my ‘Get Into Golf’ Beginners Coaching Program and any future ladies’ membership initiatives.

Program

Non-members are invited through our members to experience the sport of Golf at Whitburn Golf Club. This will be in the shape of a taster session held on our practice facilities, where our professional will show you some of the basic principles that need applying and with demonstrations from the Lady Captain. By the end of the session you should be able to hit the ball in the air and experience the joy of how satisfying it can feel.

Following on from your taster session the next step is join us for a comprehensive tuition course with a small group of similar players on out ‘Get Into Golf’ Program or just jump straight in and join our club with some

of our tempting membership offers, just for you.

This is where you will learn more about the game and exactly what each club is designed to do and more importantly how to use them. We will be covering all aspects of the game in our six weekly course and are a brilliant way of meeting new friends – let’s see where we can take you!

How do you get involved?

There are 2 ways you can get involved;

2. Start your first year programme by putting your name on our waiting list. In year 1 you attend 1 six week course and again in year 2.

It all begins with our beginners group coaching programme which offers pupils a chance to learn the basics and quickly get on a pathway towards developing their game for a long future in the sport. The group sessions are ‘Mixed Sessions’ for inclusivity, where pupils can sign up to sessions covering all aspects of the game.

Get into Golf covers 2 levels of achievement, starting with a Beginner level in year 1, and working up to Player level in year 2 and finally in your 3rd year you become a fully-fledged member of the Club.

By the end of the programme, pupils will have the confidence, skills and knowledge to be able to play golf to a handicap standard.

For each level, the following main areas will be covered: Iron Play, Putting, Chipping, Bunkers, Driving, Course Management and differing forms of play.
