Give Golf a Go
Join over 100 Ladies who have started their golfing journey with us since January 2024. FREE coaching for four weeks, you just pay for the balls you use during the lessons – all equipment is provided.
Starting with the basics, you’ll progress week on week. There is a strong emphasis on the social side of the game, and that’s why we have a continuation plan (more info below) in place, to keep you and your group together as you grow to love the game of golf.
We feel golf is the most inclusive sport available: a newcomer to the game with a high handicap can legitimately play and compete against a single figure golfer who has been playing the sport for years.
Golf can be played anywhere in the world and is a great way to create friendships, play with loved ones or host a business client.
All equipment is provided and when the time is right to buy your own clubs we offer custom fitting sessions for free, making sure your investment will last a lifetime.
We feel there is a big barrier when it comes to new golfers playing on the course for the first time and the reason for this is often lack of knowledge.
Lead by Sam, we have created these simple videos to help you understand the basics of the game, to grow your confidence and get you out on the course sooner.

Ladies Academy - Level 1
After completing your first four weeks of coaching, we want to make sure your journey doesn’t stop there. By this point you’ll have the golfing bug which roughly translates to a mixture of glee and frustration in equal measure!
To increase the amount of joy you can sign up to Level 1. This consists of a monthly payment which covers one lesson per week and range balls. The hope is that you’ll have formed a bond with the group you started with, but we understand life gets in the way so you’ll have the flexibility to join any Level 1 class across the week to get your fix!
Ladies Academy - Level 2
If you started Give Golf a Go following a break from the game or you are naturally gifted and feel ready for the course, Level 2 is the option for you.
This consists of a monthly payment which covers one lesson per week, range balls for the lesson and off-peak golf course access.
Many of the ladies form WhatsApp groups – this is the ideal way to contact fellow Level 2 members and arrange a social, or competitive, round. You’ll have access to the online booking platform to select a tee time that suits you.
Level 2 is also available to those that haven’t been through the GGAG program but want to meet other ladies in a coaching and playing environment.
Meet the Coaches
We are in a very fortunate position to have five PGA Qualified Professionals on hand to run the sessions, meaning that the information you are learning is coming from the best: Sam, Charlie, Dan, Ashley and Ruairidh.

Testimonials
“I’ve been having group golf sessions for the last 6 months. They’re excellent lessons and fun. Sam’s very knowledgeable and patient and my game’s definitely improving. Through the sessions I’ve met other ladies at the same level and we‘re beginning to play together on the course.
Having looked at other golf clubs in the area, I’ve found The Drift to be a really modern and inclusive. The whole team are super friendly and always encouraging.
It’s been a great way to start my new favourite pastime!”

“I was amazed about how much I learnt in the first session. I am a complete beginner but have three boys who are starting to play so wanted to learn with them. The coaching is very clear and easy to understand so I feel I have progressed far more than I expected to. The driving range is a great venue for learning…..It feels like the coaches really want us to enjoy the sessions and progress, and continue on our golfing journey.” Becky
“I am really enjoying my lessons at the Drift. I live locally and drive past the Drift daily so when the opportunity for lessons came up I was so excited to sign up. The instructors have been fantastic, overall atmosphere great” Danusia O
