Ladies Coffee, Cake and Intro to Golf

Take your first steps into the world of golf at Kidderminster Golf Club with our ‘Ladies Get into Golf’ fun events. These events offer the perfect opportunity to try out the sport, build new friendships and get some fresh air.

This event is being held on 16th November, at 11am. The event is free of charge and provides you the opportunity to ‘have a go’ at golf under the guidance of our wonderful golf professionals (and some of our wonderful lady members). All equipment will be provided. To reserve your free place please click here.

Kidderminster Golf Club is situated in the heart of Kidderminster and set within 175 acres of beautiful parkland. It’s easily accessible and has a lovely clubhouse to make your visit both sporting and sociable.

We all lead busy lives with pressures to meet the demands of others. Creating a ‘space’ for you to do something for yourself can be challenging but the benefits are immense.

Playing golf is a great benefit to your physical and mental health. The R & A have recently published a Golf and Health report which highlights that ‘golf is a sport that can be played from the age of four to 104. It can be played in the fresh air in the great outdoors, in many different forms and even indoors too. It allows golfers to enjoy a form of exercise, as well as boosting their mental wellbeing in a social environment.’

The report can be accessed here.

The Circle Health Group highlight 10 benefits of playing golf

  1. Spending time in direct sunlight is necessary to get enough vitamin D
  2. Golf is a social sport
  3. It provides a healthy sense of competition
  4. Can be enjoyed without keeping score
  5. Golf can improve concentration and boost your brain
  6. Playing golf is good for your heart
  7. Golfing can relieve stress and improve your mental health
  8. Golf burns calories and can help with weight loss
  9. Provides an opportunity for social interaction
  10. Golf helps you sleep better

BUT above all it’s about having fun with friends and visiting the 19th hole!

KGC Retains The Boulton Salver

Kidderminster Duo Wins the Prestigious County Event

Many congratulations to the pair of Callum Hutchinson & Alex Lockett who have helped Kidderminster GC retain the Boulton Salver, with 46 teams from 18 clubs played from around the county. In the difficult format of medal foursomes a nett score of 73 was enough to claim the salver.

Unfortunately, after 9 holes into the 2nd round and with lightning entering the area players were called in and the round abandoned.

Defending champions Steve Clarke & Matt Ruffinato took the gross prize with a score of 75, which completed the clean sweep for KGC.

We look forward to hosting the event again next year.
