On Saturday 12 October, the 2024 Sip 'n Putt sessions at Home Hill Golf Club concluded with a fantastic finish! Fourteen ladies, including five newcomers, participated in the final session led by PGA coach Tara Jenkins where some of the ladies were introduced to golf for the first time, while others practiced skills from previous lessons.
Several participants felt confident enough to play a hole in an Ambrose format, discovering just how much technique is required to get that little white ball into the hole!
After the session, the ladies, along with several club members, enjoyed socialising over drinks and nibbles. During this time, there was discussion about ways to stay engaged with the game, and most ladies expressed interest in a 4-hole competition, to be held on either a Saturday or Sunday. The first competition is planned for later in November, with club members on hand to offer guidance and tips. Ladies who were unable to attend the Sip 'n Putt sessions are also welcome to join in. Keep an eye on the Home Hill Golf Club Facebook page for updates.
A special thank you goes to Tara Jenkins for traveling from Townsville to lead the sessions. The club also acknowledges the support from the State Government’s Active Women & Girls Program, which funded Tara’s professional coaching services.
Sip 'n Putt will return in 2025!
