Ever wanted to putt for a birdie or whack a ball down the fairway but haven’t had the chance?
Keilor Public Golf Course might have you covered with a number of free activities across March as part of the Get Into Golf program.
Course general manager Jack McDonald said they were excited to finally get the Golf Australia program running, after the initial program last year was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year’s program will include weekly women’s clinics and all-abilities clinics.
“We had 30 ladies sign up for last year’s program before it was cancelled,” he said.
“There’s been a lot of interest already for this year. We’ve had two or three people put their names down for the all-abilities clinic. Hopefully we get a few more put their names down shortly.”
Other initiatives during March include upgrades on driving range buckets, ladies social golf and Food Truck Fridays.
They will also have a walk the course, allowing people to walk around the back nine and take in the sights without hitting a ball.
Mr McDonald said there had been a big increase in the number of golfers since restrictions eased.
“With other sports not allowed to be played, it allowed people to turn towards golf.”
