We are one of several Clubs who have agreed to host a new initiative; the She Loves Golf 6’s Series (promotional poster attached). The series aims to provide an on-course opportunity for women who are newer to golf.
Participating clubs and dates are;
· Monday 17 February - Harewood
· Tuesday 25 February - Rangiora
· Tuesday 3 March - Russley
· Tuesday 10 March – Waimairi Beach
· Tuesday 17 March – Bottle Lake
· Tuesday 24 March – Avondale
A summary of the details for She Loves Golf 6’s:
· NZ Golf and Canterbury Golf to promote the 6’s series through websites, local databases, local councils and on social media. Participating clubs to promote series through members and on club social media platforms.
· NZ Golf to manage the administration of registrations and enquiries.
· Participants pay $10 entry fee at each event payable to the club on arrival.
· 5:30-5:50pm tee off playing an Ambrose (It’s OKAY rules) over a 6-hole loop from the purple tees. No draw required as groups are formed as participants arrive.
· Focus is on introducing women to playing golf on-course in a supported environment. Score is not really a priority according to previous feedback.
· 3-5 volunteers required at each club to welcome the women and encourage/support the participants on course.
· Entry fee includes nibbles (e.g. cheese platter) in the clubhouse after golf and women can purchase a drink at the bar/cafe.
· If your club would like to promote a meal option which participants can order before starting play and pay for after golf, that may be of interest to participants.
· Each club to provide information to participants about suitable follow-on opportunities for beginners at your club.
