The club’s Wednesday Junior Golf Clinics will return from Wednesday, February 25.
This five week program offers a fun and safe environment to learn the basics through games and drills.
Clinics for primary school age children will be from 4pm (50 minute session), with high school age from 5pm.
Cost is $30 for the full course, with registrations closing on Sunday, February 22 at https://golf.com.au/venue/deniliquin-golf-club
Contact Vincent Kelly at 0447 109 705 for more information.
This year there is also an opportunity for junior girls in the region to learn golf, after Deni Golf Club secured a grant from the Australian Golf Foundation.
It will involve 24 coaching sessions of one-hour duration throughout the year, led by PGA professional Jody Fleming, with support from club members.
As well as the opportunity to learn the game, participants will also get a year’s free golf club membership. It is open to girls aged nine to 17 and registrations close today.
Contact the club for more information and registration details.
