Learn to play golf in Lumbres

Challenge of the day: initiation golf at the Aa Saint-Omer Golf Club. The Tourist Office wets the shirt to make you discover different activities offered on our territory … For the golf, it is Silvia who devoted herself.

The setting for the handigolf championship

It is in the setting of the handigolf championship freshly installed for the weekend that I am welcomed by Sylvain, the academy’s pro. “Other than a few rounds of mini-golf, I’ve never played golf on a green. I can’t wait to discover this discipline!”

We leave the reception, walk around the putting green and the bunker, two of the players’ practice areas. On the way to the covered driving range dedicated to swinging, I discover the 9- and 18-hole courses that stretch as far as the eye can see over the Aa Valley.

We leave the reception area, walk around the putting green and bunker, two of the players’ practice areas. On the way to the covered driving range dedicated to the swing, I discover the 9 and 18 hole courses that stretch as far as the eye can see over the Aa Valley.

In a calm voice, with his wise advice, he shows me the starting posture, breaks down several times the movements to be reproduced. Sylvain entrusts me with a club and a basket of balls. I set up in one of the personalized areas. It’s my turn to play!

.

A sport open to all

In profile to my target, feet flat, knees slightly bent, I have my hands on the grip and make the movement of the arms and wrists associated with the rotation of the torso, in one direction and then in the other. I look at my ball on the ground and then stare at the horizon after I hit it, motionless. I learn to make a nice finish:at the end of the swing, rotate the bust and hips, facing the target, lift the back foot and bringing the arms and the club on the opposite shoulder, stay in position until the ball stops.

I apply myself throughout the exercise, making some nice throws. Sylvain congratulates me and invites me to come back and practice, during a training course or one of the many open days organized by the club.
” It’s a very technical sport that requires concentration. Everyone can come and try golf, the time of an afternoon, challenge friends, we have various formulas to discover !”
