The ladies’ Get Into Golf programme has been a resounding success. 54 beginners participated in this eight-week course, spending time learning the basics from Dungannon’s professional, Chris Jelly, on the putting green, in the nets and on the practice ground, and then putting their new-found skills into practice on the course, accompanied by their “buddies” from the ladies’ branch. The beginners were enthusiastic throughout, even in the rain and hail, and there was a lot of potential on show! Over 35 ladies have taken up the offer of beginner membership - we hope to see them on the fairways soon.

Get Into Golf

Some of the beginners who attended the morning classes, along with their helpers.

Thanks are due to the Confederation of Golf in Ireland for initiating the course and to Chris Jelly for providing lessons during the first four weeks, however the programme wouldn’t have been a success without the volunteers from the ladies’ branch who encouraged, helped, advised and caddied for the beginners each week. Special thanks are due to the Lady Captain, Karen Hetherington, and the Lady Vice-Captain, Lorraine Wilson, for their meticulous organisation of the programme.

Do you know anyone who might be interested in taking up golf or joining a club? Make sure you tell them that it costs less than £10 per week to join Dungannon Golf Club! Membership forms can be downloaded from the club’s website or can be collected from the office.
