Learn to Golf

MR ANDY MCGREGOR-LOWNDES In partnership with the Brisbane Golf Club, St Aidan’s is excited to introduce a golf program for Senior School students. The fun and creative program offers students an opportunity to experience the game of golf in an enjoyable and supportive environment.

Focussing on the fundamentals of golf, skill development, etiquette and course strategy, the program provides a clear pathway from the complete beginner through to girls who wish to play competitively.

The golf tuition is conducted by Asha Hargreaves, Assistant Golf Professional at Brisbane Golf Club. Asha currently coordinates the BGC Junior Academy, along with their highly successful Ladies Let’s Golf program.

Over 30 girls participated in the pilot program in Term 3 and the feedback from the girls has been excellent. “I have enjoyed the challenge of learning new skills with my friends. Asha is a fantastic coach and caters for girls of all ability levels. I look forward to the session each week and I love the feeling when I hit a

good shot.” Jasmine Keke – Year 9.

All sessions take place before school at the picturesque Brisbane Golf Club in Tennyson, which is ranked in the Top 100 Golf Courses in Australia by Golf Magazine Australia. The club also offers outstanding practice facilities which include a 270-metre driving range with a full grass hitting area, a short game facility for chipping and bunker practice, a separate practice putting green and three spare holes.

We look forward to offering this program year round in the future.
