It looks like we will not be able to gather for our Orientation and Social so we have planned a virtual presentation using Zoom. For event details Calgary click here & Edmonton click here. We tell new members a little bit about Golfaround and how we got started, we also review the booking procedures and policies. An invitation will be sent to new members via e-mail to join the virtual presentation, it will be recorded for those to review later. You can also find the information in the Membership Information Package in the Members area on the website.
We are hopeful to do the Beginning Golf Course Orientation in both Edmonton and Calgary Saturday May 8 4:00pm. Calgary’s takes place at on the loop at Heritage Pointe golf course and Edmonton’s on the Dragon Heads Golf course. Golfers new to the game or those that have not had very much experience do find the Beginner Golf Course Orientation very beneficial. It is not mandatory but we highly recommend so that you start off the right way and avoid feeling uncomfortable while learning this great game. Some feel nervous and intimidated so this is our way to boost your confidence before you head out on a golf course. You will play 3 holes with a mentor who gives you some advice and helpful hints. Some of the things we cover:
- What to do on the tee box, fairway, green
- Ready Golf and Pace of Play
- Golf Etiquette
- What to wear, what you need
We have started indoor lessons at Eaglequest Golf Dome in the north following the protocols that are still in place. It was so nice to see some different faces and feel the excitement of being able to get out and do something. Everyone was so excepting of what we need to do at this point in time to get back to some sense of normal. Our planning this season has not been without it challenges so a big thank you to many of you for being flexible. It is going to be a very busy season and we do expect things to run similar to last year so will definitely need your support and help.
