Grim’s Dyke Golf Club in Pinner has introduced its new academy, aimed at encouraging golfers over the age of 40 to pick up the sport.
A spokesperson for the club told Pinnernews: “It will come as no surprise that local clubs offering active sports such as football, cricket, rugby, hockey and even tennis continue to see a rapid decline in participation after a player turns 40.
“Older people, however, can still reap the benefits from continuing to play sports, keeping fit and healthy while enjoying the social benefits of friendship, camaraderie, teamwork and participation in a fun and inclusive activity.”
The academy provides tuition and equipment, irrespective of age, gender or ability, with the aim of improving participants’ quality of life.
The spokesperson continued: “It is a highly enjoyable leisure activity that brings fun, challenge and competition, as well as opportunities for social interaction while participating in physical activities.
“Many of our club members have sparkled at other sports when they were younger. Sudhir was a top cricketer, Keith excelled on the football pitch, Paul was a tennis ace, and Mel’s passion was rugby, while our club captain Gill was a talented hockey player.”
Tuition is available for individuals or groups. To find out more, head to www.grimsdykegolfclub.co.uk/stay_sporty_with_golf or call the club on 020 8428 4539.
