HAMPSHIRE Ladies’ County Golf Association (HLCGA) has announced that it is continuing its investment to get girls across Hampshire into golf by offering free taster days.

Aimed at girls aged between six and 18 years of age, the focus of the sessions is on having fun and meeting other like-minded girls while learning to play the game in a sociable environment.

Each session will be held by a PGA qualified coach. All equipment will be supplied and casual dress is encouraged.

Following the taster days, six-week starter courses will be available at three clubs across the county at a cost of £20 for all six sessions. Girls can then continue to develop their golf skills at five further monthly sessions held at one of the county’s academy centres throughout the summer.

Free taster days are taking place at Tournerbury Golf Club from 9.30am to 12.30pm on Sunday, March 18, and at Alresford Golf Club from noon to 3pm on Saturday, March 24.
