Women’s golf in Peterborough has grown in Peterborough as the club has seen more ladies hitting the links more than ever.
“If you see what we've been able to accomplish this season, our leagues are up 35 per cent,” said Kurtis Sweeting, PGCC sport director. “We've had 15 to 20 percent more play in years past. Golf is an accommodation sport.”
The club has several events catered specifically for women including League nights, tournaments, golf camps and even a wine and cheese night.
Couples evening league is a service that PGCC offers to appeal to both genders.
The tournament offered either an 18-hole or 9-hole format. Once the women have finished the first nine holes, the ladies playing half the course join in.
“The tournament actually gets bigger after nine holes which is kind of unique,” explained Brissett.
Whether teams score birdie, par or bogey, the message is that they all enjoy themselves playing the game.
“We've been working towards promoting the spirit of fun, friendship and golf,” said Cavanagh.
