BENTHAM Golf Course is hosting a series of sessions backed by the England Golf campaign to encourage newcomers into the sport.

The Get into Golf initiative aims to break down barriers and provide a step by step introduction to the game, offering a user-friendly beginners guide available to download from the internet covering everything from what to war through to etiquette, rules and the handicap system.

As part of the scheme, Sophie Daws, the resident golf professional at Bentham Golf Course, will host a run of five subsidised lessons on Sundays this autumn which give novices a chance to try the sport with all the necessary equipment provided.

As well as the Get Into Golf tuition on offer, Bentham Golf Course provides a welcoming environment for those who are new to the sport and with an eight-bay under cover driving range and an indoor golf facility the unpredictable weather does not need to deter anyone.

Designed specifically as an environment for both tuition and fun, The Studio features padded walls and the latest in golf simulation software.

More information about the Get into Golf sessions and indoor golf at The Studio is available from Sophie Daws on golfpro@benthamgolfclub.co.uk
