The Professional at SAOL, Daniel Webster,  has individual and group coaching packages designed to cater for every level of golfing ability from juniors to adults. The objective of his "starter" sessions is to give prospective members a taste of the game, leading on to playing a few holes and eventually having the opportunity to join as a member. Daniel and his team have a whole range of packages for the improvement of the "existing" golfer.   Have a look at Daniel's website on the Course/Professional link.

Why Play Golf? 

Golf is a stimulating challenge, combined with getting out in the fresh air in pleasant surroundings. A round of golf is not only enjoyable, it is an excellent way of exercise as an average of 18 holes usually involves walking between 3 to 4 miles and burning up 300 calories an hour. Golf is a unique all round sport which can be

• Played by all people of all ages
• Adaptable to fit availability
• Played alone or in groups
• Played at different levels – social or competitive

There are very few other sports that can provide all of the above, so it is hardly surprising that there are an estimated 1.7 million regular golfers in Great Britain. Why not see what we can offer you and you can embark on a journey guaranteed to combine exercise with fresh air, friendship with competitiveness, social interaction with self-determination, plus a chance to learn new skills that will stay with you for life.
