Education City Golf club is taking part in a global event that encourages women and girls to try golf for the first time, while experienced lady golfers can play and engage with women interested in the sport. Women’s Golf Day (WGD) is a single-day event scheduled to introduce new female participants to golf and celebrate existing players by joining them together irrespective of race, religion, language, ethnicity, or location. WGD has become a global movement and celebrates women and girls learning golf skills that last a lifetime and being part of a larger global community.
“We decided to be a part of this Global event because we are promoting Healthy and Sporty Lifestyle among women and girls in Qatar. Golf is excellent sport for losing weight and keeping fit. Golf supports mental health and helps fight depression and it is great to maintain mental focus as we age. “Stated Gordana Popovic Vincic, lady golfer and Sales and Marketing Manager at ECGC.
World Women’s Golf Day (WGD) this year features a virtual golf day on the 2nd June where Education City will broadcast an online discussion with Catriona Mathew, Solheim Cup Captain 2019 & 2021, and Michael Braidwood, General Manager of Education City Golf Club. The online discussion will be partnering with In the Game and discussing relevant topics about women’s golf and health featuring female golfers in the community of Qatar.
One of Education City Golf Clubs' missions is to grow the game of golf and the female sector is one of the most untapped. The club is well equipped to introduce people to the game of golf with expansive training facilities which offer a step by step pathway into the game of golf. The friendly club is proud of its relaxed and welcoming culture and its mantra that anyone can try golf. The women in golf charter was launched by golf's governing body of golf the R and A last year to encourage golfing governing bodies and clubs to pledge to support this important initiative. This aligns directly with Education City Golf Clubs mission and will really help drive participation.
The second part of the Women’s Golf Day will be a physical golf event in September designed to engage lady golfer and potential lady golfers at the course.
Women’s Golf Day is unique, there is nothing like it in sports, a one-day sporting and community celebration event that unites women through golf across the globe for 24 hours straight transcending race, religion, language and geography and Education City Golf Club cant wait to be part of it.
