Toptracer and the UK Women’s Golf Community joined forces for a driving range takeover that brought together more than 130 women and girls and introduced over 50 newcomers to golf.
Held on August 25 at GolfPlex, an ultramodern driving range equipped with world-leading Toptracer technology, members of the online UK Women’s Golf Community (UK WGC) travelled to Bracknell from across the country to enjoy an innovative and experiential golf experience.
The free event was aimed at both seasoned golfers and complete newcomers looking to ignite an interest in the game, the latter were given the perfect platform to give golf a try through Toptracer’s range of game modes, including beginner modes like Go Fish, and more advanced challenges such as Closest to Pin and Points Game.
The Jazzy Golfer, founder of the UK Women’s Golf Community:
"This collaboration between the UK WGC and Toptracer has been fantastic,” she commented. “It was an incredible moment witnessing so many women and girls come together in one place, all enjoying golf in a welcoming, safe and fun environment. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many women at a driving range and we couldn’t have done it without the support of Toptracer.
“The event not only celebrated those who already play golf but by having Toptracer technology in every single bay, it enabled many of the new golfers to start their journeys in a fun, engaging and unintimidating way.
"I’ve had so many messages from people who were there saying how much fun they had including many who have now got the golfing bug which we love to hear! It really was such a brilliant night, and one that won’t be forgotten by any of the attendees any time soon!”
The event also welcomed special guest, Inci Mehmet. The Sky Sports Broadcaster and former LET Professional was on hand to deliver an insightful Q&A to attendees alongside Jazzy, before sharing her expertise with the many beginner golfers up and down the driving range.
“It was genuinely eye-opening to see so many women and girls come together to enjoy an evening of golf on Friday night, and it made me feel proud to be part of such a ground-breaking event,” she said.
The event also featured music from a live DJ, an array of golf-themed cocktails and mocktails, competitions, prizes, and goodie bags for every attendee.
