Many sports tend to have a bias
towards one sex or another. Football, for example, is by and large a
male-dominated sport and you don’t get much more masculine than rugby! On the
other side of the fence, netball would definitely fall into the female
category. Yet there are some sports that gracefully transcend genders,
appealing to both men and women.
Golf is undoubtedly one of
these sports and it also has no age limits. Dotted around courses throughout
the UK you will find some unlikely groupings of people
who are linked by their love of this great outdoor sport. Some will play daily
while others only on weekends, perhaps as a way of releasing the stress of a
difficult week at the office.
Keen golfers tend to join a
club and membership packages vary considerably in price. Many golf clubs simply
offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offer
little flexibility. Yet some offer more realistic membership packages, where
they take into account how often you’ll play and tailor a package to your
individual needs.
Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk is breathing new life into membership and taking
this more flexible and appealing approach. Membership enquiries are dealt with
on a one by one basis, where potential members are able to discuss their
requirements with the golf team at Barnham Broom. Membership is tailored to fit
you rather than you having to fit into the club.
As such the Norfolk
golf club has a thriving membership, with many
golfers taking advantage of this sensible approach to play some of the finest
golf in Norfolk. Two beautiful championship courses tempt golfers
to the club. While both have been designed by one of
Europe’s foremost golf course architects,
Frank Pennink, they are considerably different and offer numerous challenges!
The Valley Course has an abundance of water and blends seamlessly with the
surrounding countryside, while the Hill Course offers fine holes and fine views
of the region.
Membership
benefits include the opportunity to take part in competitions that run
throughout the year for men, women, juniors and seniors. And the 19th
hole is the Sportsbar and Café where you can relax with fellow members over a
light bite or perhaps just a refreshing drink while planning your next round
and swapping tips.
For those looking
to improve their game, lessons can be booked with the course PGA professional,
Ian Rollett, who will guide you through aspects of your game. Improve your
technique during a one to one lesson, organise a group lesson for friends or
perhaps a full day of golf including some tuition for a society or work
awayday.
So if you’re
looking for a golf club to join in Norfolk but can’t find the right membership
package to suit, then Barnham Broom is definitely worth considering.
