Women from across the CSRA are invited to experience golf in a welcoming environment from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 4.
The Practice Club at Jones Creek will be open for participants regardless of golf skill or experience to take a free lesson and practice on the range or in the teaching bays. Toptracer technology featured at The Practice Club at Jones Creek makes it possible to simulate play at courses around the world and to enjoy friendly competition like longest drive and closest to the pin contests.
“Club Car Women’s Employee Network is excited to work with great partners to grow the game and connect our community with this global celebration of women’s golf,” said Lynthia Ross, Global Communications Leader for Club Car. “We are excited to bring this event to Augusta and hope to see it grow each year. Women are winning.”
A reception will be held at The Practice Club at Jones Creek from 6 to 8 p.m. During the reception, members of Club Car WEN and Cher’s Sisters Only Club will be present to welcome guests and enjoy networking over refreshments. The event is free and women are asked to register in advance at www.clubcar.com/womensgolf. Donations made during the event will benefit the Cher’s Sisters Only Club scholarship fund.
“We are excited to be part of this event that celebrates women playing golf around the world. Our organization has a mission to empower women of all ages to be healthy and continually grow and develop themselves. Golf does that,” said Cher Best, President of Cher’s Sisters Only Club and co-host of the Fattz and Cher Afternoon Ride -Out (96.3 Kiss FM- iHeart Media Augusta). “It is great to have partners like Club Car and The Practice Club at Jones Creek embrace our vision for women’s total well-being.
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.”
