This event will provide participants with the opportunity to develop their golf skills through professional instruction while enjoying the camaraderie and connection that comes from sharing the game with fellow members.

Instruction will include key areas such as full swing mechanics, short game skills, chipping, putting. The clinic is designed to support golfers of all experience levels, whether they are returning to the sport, looking to improve their current game. Following the instructional session, participants will have the opportunity to put their skills into practice through a round of golf at Bally Haly, allowing them to apply what they have learned while building connections with other Soldier On members in a supportive and inclusive environment.

On Day 2, participants will have the opportunity to continue developing their skills by utilizing the driving range and putting facilities before heading out onto the course for another round of golf. Playing in groups of four, members will enjoy a full day on the course while continuing to build confidence, improve their game, and connect with fellow participants before wrapping up the event. This event aims to promote physical activity, confidence, recovery, and connection through the shared experience of golf.
