A SOLIHULL golf club is appealing to Muslims to join them for taster sessions.
Mytime Active’s Golf Course in Hatchford Brook, will be hosting two subsidised golf taster days, funded by the Muslim Golf Association, to encourage more Muslim people to take up the sport.
The sessions will be held on Saturday (September 14) from 3pm to 5pm for men only, and on Sunday (September 15) from 3pm to 5pm for women only.
The club says these sessions are specifically tailored for complete beginners and novices, and will highlight the benefits of golf for everyone.
The taster lessons will be led by golf professional Cameron Edmonds of Inspire Golf, supported by Mytime Active’s Area Manager, Dave Wheeler, and Mytime Active’s Healthy Lifestyles Programme Manager, Amy Brittain, at the female session.
Amir Malik, Founder of the Muslim Golf Association said: “We want to change attitudes by staging events and taster sessions, such as these at Hatchford Brook, and to challenge the traditional perception that golf is predominantly played by white, middle-class, wealthy men.
“In reality, golf is a sport that welcomes everyone, regardless of ethnicity or background. The golf course is an inclusive space where people from all walks of life can come together and enjoy the game. Golf truly is for all.”
The Muslim Golf Association believe golf is an ideal sport for all and offers a respectful environment where there is no physical contact between players, and modest attire, including head coverings, poses no barrier to participation.
