3-3-3 Golf

Do you fall into any of these categories?

Many golfers find it impossible to leave work early enough for a full round of golf in the evening.
Others with young families find it hard to justify a full evening away from the family.
Non-members rarely get the chance to play private courses or find it hard to justify the full green fees.
Many beginners find it hard to break into golf, not knowing where to start or not knowing any other beginners.

3-3-3 Golf addresses all of these common problems, is designed to be fun at the same time as being competitive, and to appeal to golfers of all standards

Beginners

Meet new friends. Golf can be an intimidating game to start with, particularly if you don’t know anyone else of your standard. The 3-3-3 Golf Beginners events allows new starters to feel comfortable and maybe play 9 holes after a lesson. See Yorkshire Golf Partner Days for opportunities to meet new golfing friends.
Choose between social and competitive golf. If you prefer, just register, turn up for a friendly game and enjoy the 9 holes.
Invite new beginners. Please pass 3-3-3 Golf details on to your friends.
