Augusta Gears Up for Women’s Golf Day on June 9

Augusta will host Women’s Golf Day on June 9, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 7:30 PM. This event is designed to empower local women by introducing them to the sport of golf, regardless of their current skill levels. The festivities are organized through a collaboration involving the Club Car Women’s Employee Network, The Practice Club at Jones Creek, iHeart Media Augusta, and Cher’s Sisters Only Club.

The event invites all women across the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) to participate. Planned activities include free golf lessons, open range time, and access to advanced technology like Toptracer, which simulates play on prestigious golf courses. Throughout the day, attendees will also have the chance to join in fun challenges like the longest drive and closest to the pin contests.

Exclusive Golf Clinics

As part of the celebration, two exclusive golf clinics will be offered. The first will take place at 3:00 PM, led by Oneda Castillo, a Master Life LPGA Teaching Professional and a Top 50 LPGA Instructor. The second clinic will follow at 6:00 PM with Laura Coble, a Georgia Golf Hall of Famer and former Augusta University Lady Jags Golf Coach. These clinics are expected to provide valuable insights and training for participants.

Registration and Donations

Participation in Women’s Golf Day is free, but women are encouraged to register in advance at www.clubcar.com/womensgolf to secure their spots. During the event, donations will be collected to support the Cher’s Sisters Only Club scholarship fund, which benefits local women and girls in need.

Benefits of Golf

The significance of this event extends beyond just learning the game. The President of Cher’s Sisters Only Club has pointed out that golf can benefit women’s well-being on multiple levels—physically, mentally, and socially. The owner of The Practice Club at Jones Creek has emphasized the commitment to providing a welcoming environment for women interested in golf, thereby helping to alleviate the challenges many face when seeking resources and support in the sport.

A Global Movement

Women’s Golf Day (WGD) is not just a local initiative but part of a global movement that started in 2016, with events across more than 80 countries. Its mission is to empower women and girls through golf, providing a platform for them to learn, connect, and enjoy their time on the course. Overall, the event in Augusta on June 9 aligns with WGD’s broader goals by creating a supportive community for women interested in becoming involved in golf.

In summary, Women’s Golf Day in Augusta promises to be an enriching experience for women from all walks of life, fostering growth, connection, and empowerment through the game of golf.
