Says Craig Thomas, county development officer for the Cheshire County Golf Partnership: “These courses just go to show that it is never too late or too soon to take up golf.

“Golf is a wonderful sport that can stay with you for life bringing many social and health benefits and these sessions are an ideal starting point with expert advice available.

“It is also a sport that can be enjoyed in later years providing a valuable social life and a good reason for regular exercise.”

Get into golf is a national campaign to inspire adults to take up the game and is run by the England Golf Partnership through its network of County Golf Partnerships, supported by Sport England and National Lottery funding.

Get into golf opportunities include FREE taster session and low-cost beginner courses with PGA professionals. They are a fun and sociable way to start golf and a great way to make new friends.
