Team Match

Taster Sessions

At DGC “beginner” lady golfers are invited to try golf at one of our ‘taster’ sessions. All
equipment is provided for these relaxed and fun sessions.
These sessions are flexible on timing and the friendly ‘pro’s’ will try to accommodate
wherever possible.
If you are interested in organising a ‘taster’ session, please contact the Pro Shop and ask
for Scott or Ian

Beginners Academy

After the initial ‘taster’ session, lady’s move into the weekly beginner’s academy. These
sessions work through all aspects of the game, with an aim to help ladies to play on the golf
course as soon as they feel confident.

‘Buddy’ System

At DGC we realise that starting a new sport and joining a new club can sometimes be
daunting. Therefore, to help with this process we offer a ‘buddy’ system, where a more
experienced golfer shows you the way. The ‘buddy’ will help:-
Introduce you to other members
Partner you in social fun golf
Help you to achieve your handicap
Answer any queries you may have about Golf at Disley.

Getting a Handicap

An official world golf handicap can be gained over 9 or 18 holes at DGC. Three cards will
need to be completed to achieve an official handicap.

Major Competitions

competitions throughout the summer. Through the winter most competitions are held
over 14-holes.
