My journey into golf started when my late husband of 4 years ago surprisingly bought me a second hand set of golf clubs. These were accompanied with some introductory golf lessons shortly before he passed.
This was totally unexpected and rather uninspiring at the time! I could not quite understand or appreciate the gift. He was not a golfer or sportsperson making the gesture decidedly out of character. Read More
I could never have envisaged my incredible experiences as PGA Captain of GB&I could continue at the second Women's PGA Cup 2022 at Twin Warriors Golf Club.
My independent appointment as Captain of my wonderful GB&I Women’s PGA Cup Team was certainly the icing on the cake which involved all my knowledge amassed over the past 30 years as a competing Ladies European Tour Professional, PGA Specialist Coach and just being me. Read More
"Imagine feeling inspired that your dreams of playing golf in your retirement years can be achieved; that you haven't left it too late to learn how to play this game; of being able to meet new life long playing friends with the same interest and to look forward to spending many hours and days playing golf after having held a highly pressured job for so many years. I wanted to share my experience as a new golfer via Sarah Bennett Golf
These are my dreams however I feared I may have left it too late especially after taking myself off to my local golf range, trying to emulate the ease of striking the ball and seeing it fly through the air as my husband manages to do.

Thankfully we were blessed with a perfect Summer's day for our Olympic Golf for GolfingGirls Summer Festival which is one of the highlights of our calendar year with an Olympic twist.
I think the whole Olympic Golf coverage was a huge success with large crowds watching the Men's event which produced a really heart warming outcome. I am sure there were some who did not agree with the inclusion of golf within the 2016 Rio programme, however the interest based around Rose's superb win was amazing especially on the social media channels. I would have loved personally to see a "team" style option for the player's selected adding to the excitement of the occasion. I sincerely hope the new found interest in golf can be sustained with continued options provided to those new players who would now like to try the sport. Read More
