Get In The Swing  - Free Golf Taster Sessions at Haigh

Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust’s Active Living team are offering free golf taster sessions to the over-50s at the prestigious Haigh Hall Golf Complex in September. The sessions are for people unfamiliar with the game and as part of the Trust’s Getting Wigan Active initiative, are intended to give the over-50s an opportunity to stay fit and healthy.

“We’re looking at providing a fun afternoon for those who are wanting to try something new. We have run several of these sessions and they have always been really popular, many of those who have taken part have gone on to take up golf and now play regularly,” says Alison Molloy, LEAP Support Officer for the Trust.

The taster sessions will consist of an introduction to the basics, long shots at the driving range, putting in the short game area and a competition on the Himalayan putting green.

These short courses will take place on Tuesday 6th September and 13th September 2005 between 1.00pm - 4.00pm. Spaces for the taster sessions are limited, so advanced booking is necessary to ensure a place.
