Beginner Bootcamp at Horsham Park Golf Club: Mia's Quest to Break Barriers in Golf

Beginner Bootcamp: A six week #getintogolf challenge! ⛳️ … Hello, I’m Mia (19), a young and excited new female golfer. For the last 2 years, I have studied Sports Management at Bournemouth University. As part of my degree for the third year, I need to complete a placement, which I am in the process of doing here at Horsham Golf. As part of my placement, I will be taking golf lessons with Academy coach Roy - I am a complete newbie at this sport and am excited to learn a new skill and hobby.

I have always been aware of the lack of women playing sports in comparison to men, in many different sports, not just golf, which is part of my motivation to encourage females, especially young adult females, to start an awesome and technical hobby. I want to show that anyone can do it and become a golfer. You don’t need to have the newest and most expensive clubs, know the correct etiquette or worry about fitting in.

I am enthusiastic about showing the golf environment from the lens of a young female golfing newbie, and understanding the potential barriers to golf, and why it isn’t played more by young women.

Don’t panic, I’m not a golf pro, or trying to be, but throughout my journey I want to encourage everyone to head out to their closest golf course or driving range and hit some balls because you never know, you may be a golfer!

Stay tuned to see what’s coming from me and the team at Horsham Golf!
