Golf club launches drive for women players

 
Marilyn Castree, from the South Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce, gets a first taste of St Thomas’s 10^th tee overlooking Hawkesyard Hall with the club’s director of golf Phil Gibson.

 

 

A Staffordshire golf club is launching a drive to encourage more women to take up the game by offering a series of free coaching classes.

 

St Thomas Priory Golf Club in Armitage near Rugeley is teeing up two sets of six coaching sessions for ladies which will give them the basic skills of the game.

 

The club which boasts an 18-hole championship course set in the grounds of the 19^th Century Hawkesyard Hall, has secured funding from the English Golf Union to provide the coaching.

 

Director of golf Phil Gibson said he hopes to interest up to 24 women to fill the places on the courses and so spread the word about how good golf is to more women.

Thanks Heidi - latest feedback on The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World

IT'S a while since we posted about feedback about Linda's modestly-titled book, The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World.

But this morning a message winged its way to us that we simply had to share!

Thank you to Heidi Scrimgeour for her kind words:

Just had to drop you a quick line to say thanks so much for my copy of your book. It arrived yesterday and I am bleary-eyed this morning due to my inability to put it down. Your no-nonsense approach is laugh-out-loud funny and refreshing, and I already feel galvanised into brushing up in all sorts of areas of my freelance life.
Thank you!
