Growing the game for people 65 and older

Three years ago we started a program to connect people 65 and older in our club. Now we have a program that is ongoing all year around. Over the summer time they play golf together all Wednesdays both on our golf course and they also go to other courses for a visit.

Over the wintertime they also meet all wednesdays where they use our indoor facilities, Trackman simulators and putting area. They also have throughout the winter all sort of lecturers about matters that are important to them and them to take better care of themselves as they grow older. This includes lectures about our golf courses, how to practice their golf and much more.

We have a committee within the group that set up the plan and they mostly (with our help at the golfclub) make sure that everything is running well and according to plan.
