Organising the golf activity
- Taster session for beginners: driving range, putting, short game, led by a coach.
- Accompanied round or friendly competition for players.
- Mixed formats: a team scramble mixing beginners and players.
- Plan for suitable clothing and equipment loan.
Our advice
- Spring and autumn are the best seasons; in summer, play early in the morning.
- Offer an alternative activity to those who do not want to play (spa, hiking, sightseeing).
- A golf course with a hotel makes a residential seminar simpler. See residential seminar.
Describe your seminar, mentioning “golf”.
