She Loves Golf Chip & Sip Term 1 2025

6-WEEK CHIP & SIP PROGRAMME - TERM 1

Chip & Sip is a fun summer version of learning to play golf via the She Loves Golf programme. These are learn-to-play sessions for complete beginners or for those who are a little more experienced. We have ladies repeating these courses over and over because – 1. practice makes perfect – and 2. they’re just so fun and social! These are the most unintimidating environments you will ever get to learn in.

With up to 10 coaches on the roster, we are able to accommodate over 200 ladies in one evening. Our summer courses come with a FREE beverage and a fun social gathering after each session where each group comes together to have a yarn and a sip (or two).

PRIZE GIVING

On the last session we all enjoy nibbles and a mini prize giving for participation.

When you register, BE IN TO WIN prizes courtesy of our sponsors!

FAQs

I want to be in my friends group.

Groupings: IMPORTANT NOTE

We encourage you to be in your friendship groups, but you are responsible for making sure you select the right group for you and your friends if you're wanting to book together. It's a first-come, first-served basis, and each coach can handle a maximum number of people. Hint - get one person to book all tickets for your group.

To streamline the process, we've made it easy for everyone to choose their coach within their friendship group. Keep in mind that any amends are done manually, and can be challenging for us to track changes, limiting our quality control. However, you're welcome to make amendments at your own risk and may not be possible sure to high demand.

When will you tell us what we're doing, where we are etc etc?

We receive many emails per day, so we will try to streamline how you receive information about the programme. You already know the day, you already know the time, so we will fill in the gaps in one communication. We will schedule an all details email for Friday 9 February. This will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know for the 6-week programme. 

What is the difference between Beginner and Intermediate?

BEGINNER (Fresh on the course): You will learn the basics; how to hold the club, how to swing. Hitting & Chipping.

INTERMEDIATE (Familiar with the course): You will further your skills you learnt in the beginner groups - a little bit more technical and advanced. 

HYBRID: you've played before or you've done a Chip & Sip before.

These are guidlines - our coaches will tailor how they communicate the information to you depending on your level.

What is the on-course sessions?

this term we are offering on-course sessions to act as a transition from Intermediate groups to playing on the course. To join, you must have successfully completed both a beginner and an intermediate class with a coach. There will be no coaching of technique during this session, as this should have been covered in previous courses so please only join or enquire if you feel confident in your skills.

When assessing if it’s the right class for you, the most important thing for you to be able to do is to be hitting the ball consistently off the ground – and around 50-100m. That’s the level of golfers in these sessions.

I booked for 6 or 7pm, why does my ticket say 5pm 11 February?

The reference to 5pm, regardless of your ticket, refers to the time and date the entire programme starts. Your ticket name is the actual time you have booked.
