The Society is pleased to announce the introduction of our new Golf Special Interest Group (SIG). This SIG is for WS members who are beginners, completely new to golf and those who are maybe revisiting golf after some time out. Like all the WS Society’s SIGs, this is open to all membership categories.
The Golf SIG will be lead by Helen Logan WS. Helen has secured a provisional booking at Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club for up to 12 members.
Therefore, places on the SIG will be on a first come first served basis.
The price will be £100 each, for a block of 6 lessons. Available dates and times are Tuesdays (19:00 or 20:00), Thursdays (19:00 or 20:00) or Saturdays (11.00 or 13.00). All equipment will be included. You will cover every part of the game, starting in the driving range. Through the weeks, you will start to develop the skills need to play the game.
To confirm your place on this initial block of lessons, please contact membership@wssociety.co.uk, stating your availability (Tuesday, Thursday and/or Saturday) and confirming you are available to begin lessons in October 2025.
