Get into golf with free coaching sessions

BALLAN Golf Club is hosting free Get Into Golf coaching sessions over four weeks, beginning on Sunday 22 February.

New players of all ages are welcome to attend.

“The sessions are aimed at introducing new players to the game of golf,” Ballan Golf Club secretary Denis Conroy said.

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played before or haven’t picked up a club in years.

“Golf is perfect for people who want something social, fun and low-pressure.

“We are especially encouraging women and juniors to come along and give golf a try.

“No equipment is necessary, just turn up and have a go.”

Sessions will be run by Zach Baker, who began coaching in 2023 and has already helped golfers to achieve commendable results.

“Golfers coached by Zach include club champions (men, women and junior) and Medal of Medallist winners,” Conroy said.

“His greatest success has been helping people of all ages and abilities feel confident, comfortable and excited to enjoy the great game of golf.

“This Sunday attendees can come along, meet the coach and try golf.

“Week two will be about putting and chipping, week three, chipping and pitching, and week four will cover pitching and full swings.

“These sessions are perfect for anyone who has never played before or is looking for a relaxed and supportive way to get into golf.

“We are looking forward to showcasing all the Ballan Golf Club has to offer.”

The coaching sessions are free. Anyone interested can contact the club to register their interest on 0409 798 757.
