RORY MCILROY’S fabulous victory in this year’s Open Championship – his third ‘Major’ by the age of just 25 – will have been a great inspiration to everyone who watched to ‘get into golf’.
Rory was only 15 when his father predicted he would be Open Champion within ten years, how right he was.
Is the 2024 Champion a member of Saddleworth Golf Club? There’s a very good chance he is a member of a golf club somewhere, so why not Saddleworth?
Getting into golf could not be any easier and once you have started there is no way of knowing where it will lead.
Golf is good physical exercise but it is also a challenge which is great fun to try to master.
With a little bit of the right coaching from the start it does not take long to get the confidence to take on the challenge of playing a full golf course.
And where better to do that than at the delightful and peaceful fairways of Saddleworth Golf Club, nestled on Wharmton Hill above Uppermill?
Membership is open to all ages and experience, and the joining process is simple and quick.
Rob Johnson, Saddleworth Golf Club’s resident PGA Professional, was on hand to give free ten-minute lessons at the recent Saddleworth Show.
Even in that short time every pupil went away having experienced the exhilarating feeling of hitting a perfect shot – it could not be simpler to start learning.
Maybe there was not a Rory among them but what is in a name? Especially if one of them turns out to be the 2024 Open Champion.
Saddleworth Golf Club also boasts a ‘Ladcastle Suite’ function room to hire for up to 100 guests, with additional space available in the adjoining Sun Lounge for larger parties.
For more information about the function room or Saddleworth Golf Club membership, please contact general manager Alastair Griffiths by calling 01457 873653 or emailing generalmanager@saddleworthgolfclub.org.uk
