Club Car® Women’s Employee Network (WEN), The Practice Club at Jones Creek, iHeart Media Augusta and Cher’s Sisters Only Club welcomed more than two hundred participants to an event hosted in recognition of the global celebration of Women’s Golf Day.

“Club Car Women’s Employee Network saw Women’s Golf Day as the perfect opportunity to expand what Club Car is doing to support golf industry Grow the Game initiatives,” said Lynthia Ross, Global Communications Leader for Club Car. “With this event, WEN wanted to bring women together and remove barriers and intimidation that can be associated with golf. The laughter and smiling faces prove that the mission was accomplished.”

The Practice Club at Jones Creek opened its bay doors and the entire range for participants to have one on one instruction and to practice the skills they learned. Women enjoyed lessons from the PGA teaching professional and the warm friendly welcome from the staff. Former PGA Tour and Champions Tour member, Jim Dent, stopped by to greet the ladies and shared pointers with ladies working on the practice range

“It was amazing to see the diverse groups of ladies that came to experience golf - some picking up golf clubs for the first time and others play golf with groups a few times a week. The atmosphere and energy were electrifying,” said Andrew Brooks, Owner of The Practice Club at Jones Creek. “We can’t wait to invite them back.” 

The event was free and open to the public. Participants were asked to donate to support the charitable mission of Cher’s Sisters Only Club by participating in Long Drive and Closest to the Pin contests. The event raised $1000 that will be used for scholarships and women’s initiatives planned by the organization. 

“Our members enjoyed the female-o-ship and fun during the Women’s Golf Day event. Everyone had a great time meeting women from across the community and learning the game of golf,” said Cher Best, President of Cher’s Sisters Only Club and co-host of Fattz and Cher Afternoon Ride-Out (96.3 Kiss FM – iHeart Media Augusta). “We are truly grateful to Club Car WEN for having the vision to host this event and bring us all together.”
