What's on in Taupo district?
"Give it a Go" Sessions
‘Give golf a go’ sessions a hit with first time golfers
Taupo Golf Club has been giving local people a taste of golf. The club’s ‘give golf a go’ sessions set by Nick O’Brien, a NZPGA professional, covered hitting balls on the driving range, chipping and putting, bunkers and trying out the course - all under the watchful eye of Nick. The programme ran for three weeks, then if participants decided they wanted to continue they could move on to the ‘next step’ After this an introductory membership deal was offered to those who wanted to join the club. Over 30 people signed up through SportStart for the sessions. It was a real mix of people, from early 20s through to retired people and everyone in between. Of the 30 who went through the sessions, 75% carried on to the ‘next step’ programme and six went on to become club members. Comments from participants: Taupo Golf Club are planning a similar programme this year, starting with the three week ‘give golf a go’ course on 11 October.
