Throughout the day, teaching professionals will be on hand to provide instruction and help women who are new to golf and those looking to sharpen their skills. The Practice Club at Jones Creek will also feature golf stretch and exercise trainer Anna Bishop. “We are elated to be the host location for this global Women’s Golf Day celebration in Augusta,” said Andrew Brooks, Owner of The Practice Club at Jones Creek. “Golf is a game for all people to enjoy and we hope this shows our community that The Practice Club at Jones Creek is a great place for all to learn, practice and grow in the game.”
Women’s Golf Day (WGD) was launched in 2016 as a way to make it easier for women interested in playing golf learn how to start and where to play. During a week of golf introduction and instruction programs held May 28 – June 4, women around the globe unite through golf and are encouraged to wear red and white for the networking events.
“Women want to play golf and many simply didn’t know how to get started or where to play,” says Elisa Gaudet, Founder of Women’s Golf Day. “These events help connect women to golf courses, practice clubs and a community of women who love the game. Having a location where women feel welcome, comfortable and can have a great time makes it more likely for them to continue to learn and play.”
