What You’ll Learn in the Beginner and Intermediate Programme

Across the 6 weeks, coaches may tailor sessions to suit the group, but typically you’ll cover:

• 3x Short-game sessions: Chipping & Putting

• 2x Iron/Driver sessions: Ball contact, distances

• 1x On-course session: Playing a hole, applying your skills

What You’ll Learn in the On-course lessons (Intermediates only)

This term we are offering 2 x 2-hour on-course lessons.

Please only choose this option if you are a confident and competent She Loves Golfer.

You must already be able to make consistent contact with the ball and confidently get it up in the air.

These sessions are not suitable for beginners and will not include technical swing coaching. The focus is on taking your existing skills onto the course - including course management, club selection, decision-making and playing different situations.

It is important that everyone in the group is at a similar playing level so the session can move at an appropriate pace and everyone gets the most from it. If you are still learning how to make consistent contact with the ball, please choose one of our regular Chip & Sip coaching sessions instead.

Prize Giving Night

On the last night we celebrate together with:

• Spot prizes from our sponsors

• Mini prize giving for participation

The date for Prize Giving will be Tuesday 1 December regardless of whether we utilise our rain day the week after.

Before you book

Please double-check that you’re booking the correct coach, time and class - and if you’re booking with friends, make sure everyone knows exactly which session to choose. With around 300 ladies booking each term, we usually receive a lot of amendment requests afterwards for things that could have been caught before payment. So please take an extra minute to check everything carefully before you book - it saves a heap of admin and relying on our memory and helps us keep the groups and bookings running smoothly.

The Sip part of 'Chip & Sip'

As Chip & Sip continues to grow, we’re making a small update to the “Sip” part of the programme to better reflect what you told us you want. Thank you for participating in last terms survey!

Each week, one complimentary alcoholic drink and one complimentary non-alcoholic drink will be available for participants to enjoy on the night (one drink per person, no takeaways). This ensures everyone feels included, whether you choose to drink alcohol or not. If neither of these options suits you, your first drink of the evening will be available at half price.

We are back providing food as part of the programme! After a little hiatus last Chip & Sip, we are happy to be providing light snacks to pair with your refreshing beverage after your round at the clubhouse!

FAQs

I booked for 6pm (or 7pm), why does my ticket say 5pm?

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

Can I be in my friend’s group?

Yes! But you’ll need to book together. Each class has a max capacity, so one person booking for your group is the easiest way.

I don’t have clubs…

No worries - we supply everything.

What do I wear?

Clothes are ideal.

When will I get details?

You’ll receive a full info email on Monday 26 October with everything you need to know.

What’s the difference between Beginner & Intermediate?

• Beginner: Learning the basics — grip, swing, chipping.

• Intermediate: You’ve done a course before and are ready for more technical coaching.

• Hybrid: Somewhere in between.

  
  

What’s the On-Course Session?

This is a transition session for those who’ve completed Beginner & Intermediate. No technique teaching, just applying what you’ve learned to the course.
