Golf DevelopmentUlster has had an enviable record in university golf at the highest level for a number of years. Through our Sports Development Unit we are keen to enhance that reputation by providing increased opportunities for golfers of all standards from grassroots through to elite level performance. Try / Learn Golf at UlsterGolf can be a very expensive, time consuming and frustrating sport when starting out. All this, combined with a heavy work load often acts as a barrier to participation and can put many potential golfers off. Through the Golf Development Programme the Sports Development Unit aims to introduce students and staff to golf with the least fuss possible. Through the Try / Learn Golf element of the programme students and staff can access: • One off “Come and Try It” lessons • Delivered by a PGA professional Entry is by submission of an application form which will be available from the Sports Centre Reception and the downloads section of the website.
Play Golf at UlsterPlay Golf is designed to promote participation in golf but also to encourage social interaction and develop relations among students and staff. Play Golf is aimed at those with a keen interest in golfing activity, but who perhaps may not wish, or are unable, to commit to weekly activity. Through the Play Golf element students and staff can access: • Up to 6 outings per academic year Together, all this provides a great opportunity to exercise, relax and enjoy regular participation in golf during your time at Ulster. For a list of proposed venues and dates for 2009/10 outings please see the Club Diary section of the website.
