Ladies ‘Get Into Golf’ Taster Sessions in 2018

Golf is an almost unique sport, combining periods of intense concentration and skill with much longer periods of walking around beautiful landscapes enjoying the fresh air.

There’s no better sport for bringing people together and, with its winning combination of exercise, personal challenges, competition and social interaction, golf is the perfect tonic for good health and happiness.

Clogher Valley Golf Club will be announcing details of our 2018 Ladies ‘Get Into Golf’ Taster sessions in the next few days … watch this space!!

Why get into golf?Because it’s exercising while socialising. Catch up with friends, make new friends and have a bit of friendly competition.
Who is it for?It’s a game for all ages and abilities. Plus its unique handicapping system allows people of different abilities to play and compete together.
Is there a cheap option?Taster sessions and beginner courses are not as expensive as you might think, and there are many available across the country.
Do I need my own equipment?The majority of beginner courses will provide equipment, and clubs are available to rent at most golf courses.
Can I take it to another level?You can play competitive golf at club, county and national level and turn professional.
Is there a disability option?PGA pros are trained with the skills to coach a range of disabilities.
Is there a family option?Golf is a sport for the whole family as you can learn to play and compete together.

 

This program has received funding under Mid Ulster District Council’s Sports Development Grant

Irrigation Project 2017

The officers of Clogher Valley Golf Club would like to pass on their thanks to all members and friends who assisted in fund raising and voluntary help with our irrigation project, which has just been completed. This effort is a refreshing demonstration of the positivity, willingness and inclusive spirit that exists within our Club.

We would also like to thank Mid Ulster Council for the generous financial support provided through their Sports Capital Development Grant. This grant enabled us to upgrade to a system that we could not have otherwise afforded. We very much appreciate this funding and acknowledge the efforts of the Council staff involved.

Also many thanks and well done to all our Ladies who took part in this year’s competition and to our Ladies Singles Runner Up, Lady Captain Hazel. It was a tough competition this year with heavy rain making playing conditions challenging at times, to say the least.

It was a father and son, Armstrong vs Armstrong play-off for our Gents’ Singles Competition with youth (son Paul) winning out over experience (father Captain Andy).

Many congratulations to our Gents Singles Winner Paul Armstrong – Captain Andy can take some consolation from knowing he taught him well over the years!
