The Masterton Golf Club will open its doors on Sunday, April 7, as part of a plan to bring golf to a new audience and maybe entice a few back into the game as well.
The club is working with Sport Wellington Wairarapa to host a "Have a Go Day" at their Manuka Street, Lansdowne, headquarters where participants will receive expert skills instruction and have the chance to play a few holes as well as tour the facility and have morning tea.
"This free session is open to anyone with even a passing interest in golf, and is a great opportunity for us to showcase what we have here at the club to the broader community," said executive member Brett Gould.
"Golf is a fantastic and safe social game everyone can enjoy. The game has a marvellous handicapping system that allows everyone to participate on an equal footing regardless of their age, ability or fitness level.
