Swinford Golf Club is excited to launch its Junior Golf Program, an initiative aimed at introducing golf to under-15s in a fun and friendly environment. The program kicks off with an Information Afternoon at the clubhouse this coming Saturday, April 27 from 2 to 4pm, offering families an overview of the activities and opportunities available.
Following the kick-off event, weekly golf lessons will begin on May 4, taking place every Saturday afternoon. These sessions are open to all levels, from novices to those with a budding interest in golf, ensuring that every child can find their swing.
The Junior Golf Program, run by dedicated volunteers, is focused on teaching the fundamentals of the game while emphasising sportsmanship, respect and teamwork. It's a perfect way to introduce kids to a sport that promotes physical health and social interaction.
A warm invitation is extended to all interested families to come to the Information Afternoon and be part of this community-centric club. For more information, please contact Keith at 083-8694036.
