In 2019, Carrie, champion of Sawmill's "grow the game" initiatives, noticed a trend among her friends—they were often left out of the golfing scene. This realization led to informal focus groups (with wine involved) where it became clear that the ladies desired a chance to explore golf in a relaxed, supportive setting. Thus, the Niagara Women's Try Golf Series, sponsored by Golf Ontario, was born.
The inaugural event, hosted at Sawmill, welcomed a small, all-female group for a stress-free 9-hole round sans scorekeeping, with clubs available for borrowing and notably, post-game wine to dissect the memorable shots. The success led to six sold-out events in Niagara that year.
Fast forward to 2024, and the Women's Try Golf Series has grown into a province-wide phenomenon, with over 100 events, including Indoor Winter Sessions and Regional Fall Golf Days.
Responding to demand, Sawmill is introducing the #SheSwingsSeries. This program aims to teach women the basics so that they can confidently play on the course. The #SheSwingsSeries promises a fun journey into the world of golf for our newest enthusiasts.
