AMERICAN GOLF-UK'S SECOND ANNUAL WOMEN IN GOLF DAY WILL OFFER FREE GOLF CLINICS AND SPECIAL EVENTS AT SIXTEEN OF THEIR LOCATIONS IN THE UK

Saturday 24 April 1999

Following the tremendous success of American Golf-UK's first annual Women in Golf Day in September last year, the company, the UK's largest golf operator, will host its second annual Women in Golf Day on Saturday, 24th April 1999. Since last year's event, American Golf-UK has continued its expansion programme with the acquisition of five more courses in the Essex, Hertfordshire and West Sussex areas giving even more women the opportunity to attend Women in Golf Day this year. More than 2,500 women are expected to take part and will be treated to free golf clinics, demonstrations and other golf-related special events.

Staged at 16 golf courses operated by American Golf in the south east, south west and Midlands areas of England, Women in Golf Day is designed to introduce golf to women in a fun, non-intimidating environment and is open to women of all ages and skill levels. In addition to golf instruction clinics (both for novice and advanced players), Women in Golf Day activities will include golf etiquette lessons, putting contests, fashion shows, refreshments and fun and games. The events and activities are free yet funds raised on the day from donations will be donated to Marie Curie Cancer Care. In 1998 over £1,500 was raised for the Marie Curie Cancer Care Charity.

American Golf is the largest and most experience operator of golf facilities in the world. The company employees over 15,000 men and women and operates over 300 courses in the United States and United Kingdom.
