Exciting New Partnership to Boost Golf Participation

There is wonderful news for anyone looking to discover the joys of golf this year! Sky Sports has officially announced its support for the 'Get into Golf' campaign, a fantastic nationwide initiative designed to welcome more people onto the course. This exciting partnership is being rolled out in the build-up to the 2016 British Masters, ensuring that golf remains a vibrant and accessible sport for everyone throughout the year.

The 'Get into Golf' scheme is a truly collaborative effort, delivered locally through golf clubs and PGA professionals. It has the backing of all the Home Unions, the European Tour, The R&A, the Ladies European Tour, and the Golf Foundation. The goal is ambitious and inspiring: to bring 500,000 new or lapsed golfers into the sport by the end of 2018. Whether you have never held a club before or are looking to return to the game, there has never been a better time to get involved.

Easy Ways to Get Started

For those eager to find out more, the 'Get into Golf' website at www.getintogolf.org offers a wealth of helpful information. You can easily locate a local activity finder to discover taster sessions, beginner courses, and improver classes near you. The site also features a range of instructional content to help you improve your game at your own pace. Sky Sports will be using its talent, channels, and digital outlets to showcase this initiative, providing clear guidance and direct links to help you find your nearest club.

Adding to the excitement, Sky Sports has confirmed it will repeat its popular 'Sky Sports Thursday' initiative for the British Masters. This means all 20,000 tickets for the opening round at The Grove, taking place between 13 and 16 October, will be available free of charge! This is a marvellous opportunity for fans of all abilities to enjoy the tournament live. The campaign will see key activation points around major events like the BMW PGA Championship, The Open, and the 2016 Ryder Cup, culminating in the British Masters hosted by Luke Donald.

Ready to take your first swing or return to the course? For further advice on local clubs, taster sessions, or any other support you might need to get started, please call our friendly team on 0844 448 1671. Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge. We look forward to helping you enjoy the beautiful game!
