HILTON Park Golf Club has embraced an award-winning social coaching programme to attract more females to the game.

Love.golf aims to show women in and around Glasgow that the sport is not just a man’s game, with one-day experiences set to commence on July 30 and August 22.

Introducing the game within a relaxed, social environment, the award-winning love.golf programme enables women to learn how to play golf on the course with a group of other beginners, rather than taking a series of technical lessons on a driving range.

Glasgow Times:

The day will begin at 11am with a meet and greet followed by a practice session. After lunch in the clubhouse, the participants will hit the golf course again for another round before finishing up at 3.45pm.

Stuart Smith, PGA Professional at Hilton Park, said: “Love.golf is a completely new approach to getting women involved in golf, and is ideal for those who might not have thought golf was for them.

“All the equipment is provided, you can wear jeans and trainers and you don’t have to be a club member, or even have played golf previously.”

Love.golf was launched in 2015 following an academic study at the University of Birmingham looking at how golf is taught to women, with its core principles shaped by ongoing research into what women want from their golf experience.

Stuart added: “Love.golf is here to transform the game’s image, welcoming a new generation of female golfers and families. When you have a group who are helping, supporting and encouraging each other, the learning dynamic is incredible.”
