Women’s Golf at Federal

SUPPORTING WOMEN IN GOLF (SWING)

Calling all women in Canberra! Federal Golf Club welcomes you to experience golf.

Never played? Never considered golf? Have you ever thought of anything worse? Don’t worry. Federal’s Supporting Women in Golf (SWinG) program is the perfect opportunity to get your friends together and give golf a go.

Careful though, you might just surprise yourself and love it! Contact Michelle Leggo

SWinG meets on Monday mornings with clinics held on at least 2 Mondays per month at 8:30am and 9:30am with opportunity to play a few holes after the clinic.

On the alternate Mondays we meet to play 9 holes, or just a few holes, depending on experience and skill level.

We have volunteers to accompany less experienced golfers and to help with rules of golf and etiquette.

These sessions are also ideal for obtaining a handicap card and to meet other golfers.

Clinics:

Cost: Non members: $30 per 50-minute session, Members:  $25 per 50-minute session

Brendan’s Women’s Weekend Golf Clinic runs for 45 minutes from 8:15am on Saturday mornings and is designed to provide a welcoming and supportive environment for women of all skill levels to develop their golf game. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn the fundamentals or an experienced player aiming to refine your technique, this clinic offers tailored instruction to help you achieve your goals.

With a focus on skill development, strategy, and confidence-building, Brendan ensures that each session is both engaging and enjoyable. The clinic covers essential aspects of the game, including swing mechanics, short game techniques, course management, and effective practice habits. Participants will also have the opportunity to socialize and connect with other players, fostering a strong sense of community.

Brendan’s patient and encouraging coaching style ensures that every participant feels empowered to improve at their own pace. His philosophy – where golf is a game of patience, understanding, and enjoyment – shines through in his approach to the Ladies Clinic, making it an ideal space for learning and growth.

Message of Welcome from the Women’s President

As the current President of the Women’s Committee, I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone considering joining us at Federal.

Federal Golf Club offers women an opportunity to learn or further develop their skill in playing the game of golf on a first class golf course in a friendly and supportive environment.

For women wanting to learn the game of golf, Federal provides the opportunity for new players to learn the basics and etiquette of golf in our SWinG (Supporting Women in Golf) Program, which is held on Mondays. Women are supported by experienced members of the Club while they progress towards obtaining their handicap.

For women with a handicap, there is a regular Women’s Competition on Tuesdays, but women can also play in the mixed competitions on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Club also has times available for social play on most days.

For those who are unable to commit to full 18 hole competitions, the club offers regular 9 hole competitions.

Apart from the golfing experience, Federal Golf Club also provides members and their guests with an opportunity to enjoy the wonderful facilities and to participate in the regular informal social events that are scheduled during the year.

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our Club.

Wendy Launder

President of the Women’s Committee
