Golf clinic “Gals on Green”

HISPANIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GALS ON GREEN

22 golf clinic

This year the HCCSTL Foundation decided to open its Golf Clinic “Gals on Green” just for women, with the aim of ensure that Latinas and Hispanic entrepreneurs are having access to the same business circles as their non-Latino/Hispanic peers. And to benefit from the lessons that golf teaches, a sport often restricted due to high cost and lack of language inclusion.

This was a two-month program, starting from June to August, in total the program had 6 classes that were held at the WGlen Echo Country Club. This year we had 14 amazing participants, and we will try to open two groups next year.

Stay tuned for more information and to register on time, spaces sold out very fast this year.

I am very new to the game of golf and this clinic gave me the opportunity to learn the basics from golf professionals. Getting 1:1 coaching gave me the tools I needed to improve, and we were able to share that improvement as a group as the weeks went by. My favorite part was playing a round by the end of the clinic and being able to see how much everyone had improved. I gained knowledge on etiquette and terminology that I wouldn’t have received if it wasn’t for this clinic.

With golf being more popular with men, I was a lot more comfortable learning alongside women at my same skill level also working to improve their golf game. Another great result from this clinic was the networking and friendships that I was able to make meeting a variety of new people. We shared a fun experience together and I would definitely recommend it to other women considering the clinic in the future.
