"Wilcannia recently hosted a successful series of golf clinics, continuing its commitment to introducing the sport to the local community," Ms Rogan worte.

"More than 50 students from both the Mission School and the Public School participated in the clinics, led by Mark Ingrey, Senior Regional Manager at Golf NSW, and Gary Begg, Regional Manager for the Western region. Supported by Jack Newton Junior Golf, the sessions provided students with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the golf swing and gain valuable exposure to the sport."

"Gary Begg was impressed by the turnout, saying, “It was so pleasing to see so many enthusiastic students attend the sessions.” The enthusiasm displayed by the young participants highlights the growing interest in golf within the region.

As part of ongoing efforts to cultivate the sport, Gary will return to Wilcannia on September 21st to host a family clinic, aimed at further engaging the wider community. During this visit, he will also deliver golf clubs generously donated by members of the Royal Sydney Golf Club as part of their latest club drive."

"Wilcannia’s continued involvement in golf provides young people with an exciting opportunity for physical activity and personal development, strengthening the region’s connection to the sport and fostering a sense of community."
