Clitheroe Golf Club

Women in Golf

Clitheroe Golf club is a proud signatory to the Women in Golf Charter. The Charter's aim is to challenge some of the negative stereotypes attached to golf, create inclusive golf club cultures and open up the game to women and girls of all ages. The appeal of the Women in Golf Charter to Clitheroe GC is based around the family-centred approach of the initiative, making golf accessible to all women, including those who work full-time, and encouraging more girls to get into the sport, which can foster life long friendships and prove a really fun game to play.

KIRSTY FIELD, Clitheroe's Women in Golf Charter Champion

Kirsty has played golf for over 20 years. She is passionate about the game and thankful for the many great experiences, adventures and friendships it has brought her. Being involved both as a Welsh International and a Girls High School Coach, she has seen first-hand the joy golf can bring.

Alongside Kirsty is an enthusiastic Working Group, all committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming culture at Clitheroe, making golf accessible to all women and girls, whether they want to play competitively, socially, or are just in pursuit of a new hobby!
