Wales Golf has launched a new initiative designed to inspire women and families to try out golf in a fun, inclusive, and accessible way.
‘Give Golf a Go’ event days offer a free and engaging introduction to the sport, designed especially for encouraging women to get into the sport.
Having started in August and running throughout September, the events aim to spark interest in golf, encourage women and families to try a new activity, and highlight the positive impact the sport can have on health and fitness. The events are also designed to show that golf is far more than a traditional 18-hole round, it can be flexible, social, affordable and, above all, fun.
With event days taking place across Wales, families can look forward to a relaxed day out filled with games, activities, and refreshments. The programme will also highlight the different routes into the game, so attendees can discover the best option to fit their lifestyle, whether they are looking for a sociable hobby, a competitive challenge, or simply a fun way to spend time outdoors together.
The upcoming Cardiff event on September 27 will see visitors enjoy a free session on the driving range, with PGA Professionals supervising and offering their expert tips and guidance. Families attending can also compete in a range of fun games offered by Toptracer, such as GoFish and Angry Birds.
Visitors will be able to test their skills in these playful, family-friendly challenges while enjoying food and drinks available throughout the day, making it the perfect introduction to golf as both a sport and social activity.
Hannah McAllister, CEO of Wales Golf, said: “Golf is a sport that truly has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for fitness, fun, friendship, or a new challenge. Our intention with the events is to break down barriers to show that the game of golf is accessible for all.
“The Give Golf a Go Family Event Days are all about showing families that golf can be exciting, inclusive, and welcoming. We’re particularly passionate about inspiring more women and children to give the game a try, and these events are a great first step on that journey.”
