NCR Golf Simulator Clinic
The application period for Soldier On members wishing to participate in the NCR Golf Simulator Clinic on the 10 and 11 March is now open.
The application deadline is 12 Jan, 2025.
AIM AND SCOPE OF EVENT:
Soldier On, in partnership with the Marshes Golf Club – a long-time supporter of Soldier On – will be offering 2 days of 1hr golf simulator clinic sessions with the Golf Pro at the Marshes to tune up your game before the upcoming season! This event can accommodate golfers of most experience levels, but all should have basic golf experience and have been to a driving range/played a course.
This activity will bring together both serving and retired ill/injured CAF members, allowing participants to connect through peer support and encourage a healthy and active lifestyle while using golf to enhance their recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration.
Sessions will run at 10am, 12pm, and 2pm daily on the
10 and 11 March. Based on applications received, Soldier On will organize selected participants into sessions based on experience levels – Please note that we cannot commit/confirm which session you will be invited to attend until after the selection process.
There is limited equipment available for participant use during the clinic, so all members are encouraged to bring their own clubs and equipment (athletic shoes, golf gloves).
The number of Soldier On participants is limited to
36.
