Give golf a go

It has been an amazing summer of sport and just when we thought it had come to an end, along came the Ryder Cup. Golf has never been so exciting! The performances of both Team Europe and Team USA were incredible and tensions ran high until the last minute as Team Europe came back from 10-4 behind to win 13 ½ - 14 ½.

Golf is a great sport for people of all ages and abilities. Whether you want to play a full round, a few holes or just hit a few balls on the driving range, there has never been a better time to give it a try.

All over the country, golf clubs are offering free taster sessions to help get more people involved. Find a taster session near you here. You can also use the Golf England club finder to search for your local club.

Lessons are a great way to hone your skills. Use the Professional Golfer’s Association ‘Find Your Pro’ tool to find a professional in your area.
