<\/p>\nWith a stunning coastline, rich expanses of agricultural land and a strong caring community, Gingin has plenty to offer as a town; now golf has become an inviting factor 67km north of Perth.<\/p>\n
Through the help of the WA Golf Foundation, Gingin Golf Club is moving from strength-to-strength with its new program initiative of \u201cGiving Golf A Go\u201d, a proposition that is proving more than adequate.<\/p>\n
Under the guidance of Rob Farley and direction of Club Junior Coordinator Kerry Fewster, a number of clinics for men, women and children were run to introduce the game to a plethora of beginners.<\/p>\n
Farley, a PGA Professional, took skill clinics for people of all ages, with parents and onlookers impressed by his demeanour with students.<\/p>\n
\u201cRob has a fantastic rapport with all who participated in his clinics,\u201d Fewster explained.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cHe presented his lessons on different golf shots to people with varying abilities, revolving around the conditions the course was currently in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clinics are run twice a week by Gingin Golf Club and will continue until September, with Farley\u2019s influence in the June\/July period vital to the improvement of all players.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe clinics were very successful,\u201d Fewster said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll participants were impressed with Rob Farley\u2019s style of coaching.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHis visit in July introduced challenges to the children and held competitions. The winners were presented with several different prizes to encourage the youngsters to keep practicing.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program also appealed to many parents that had brought their children along to have a go, opening up the opportunity of playing at the golf club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe even had parents showing an interest in picking up the club and giving it a go,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully we can get a few more golfers out of the initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n
These types of programs wouldn\u2019t be possible without the continued support of the WA Golf Foundation, giving towns like Gingin a helping hand to get people into the \u201cGame for Life\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Foundation is important not only to our club but to all clubs in the Ladies Avon Valley Golf Association,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe funding is greatly appreciated, delivering coaching clinics in the country and providing opportunities for adults and children to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThese improvements should encourage more people to play the game and want to better their golfing skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
