Part of Canterbury Golf's strategy to grow the game has a focus on attracting young people and families to learn and play golf. The Family TEAM Golf Ambrose was launched with 52 players made up of a family pairing of a child and adult participating in a 9 hole ambrose event. "It was great to see families out playing in this fun event" said Canterbury Golf Development Manager Rachel Thow. "The format worked well with a focus on the kids but still allowing the adults to have an involvement with the team event. Our focus will be to continue to run both fun events for kids which will include some more family events as well".
We are grateful to the Templeton Golf Club for making part of their course available for the event.
Canterbury Golf will be organising more fun family events and kids team golf events. If anyone wants to find out more about opportunities to get involved in this type of event please contact rachel@canterburygolf.co.nz.
