Golf At Goodwood, recently named England’s most welcoming golf club, is to host its annual Academy Open Day on Saturday, March 31.
Offering complimentary golf tuition to all, the Academy Open Day at the West Sussex-based venue will cater for all levels of golfer, from youngsters who have never held a club, to more experienced players keen to see what the academy has to offer.
Throughout the afternoon, Goodwood’s team of PGA professionals will provide one-hour group lessons for juniors of all abilities, aged from five to 16-years-old. During these sessions, the activities will mirror those provided at the Junior Golf Camps, such as Fruit Smash and Footgolf, as well as introducing the basics of the game.
The team will also run mixed Get Into Golf lessons, designed for complete beginners aged over 16. For those who play regularly and are keen to improve, 20 individual 20-minute lessons will be provided. There will also be a number of one-hour custom fitting sessions, giving an opportunity to find the right clubs to suit individual styles of play.
On the range, all attendees can try their hand at a nearest the flag competition, with some great prizes on offer. The little ones can have their faces painted and there will be an Easter egg competition, music and complimentary snacks and beverages all day.
Chris McDonnell, Golf At Goodwood Academy Manager, said; “We are really looking forward to hosting another Academy Open Day. We have had over 100 people attending the previous two events, and it’s always great to see new people – young and old – coming down to have a go. We have become increasingly well-known for being a welcoming club and driving participation, particularly among juniors and women, through some innovative pathways into the sport. We hope that people come and experience these initiatives and realise that golf is really easy to get into.”
All of the lessons at the Academy Open Day must be pre-booked online before the event at Goodwood.com. For more information, call on 01243 755144.
