Kitimat’s golfing ladies donned red and got out onto Hirsch Creek Golf and Winter Club’s sun-drenched fairway to participate in the international 4th annual Women’s Golf Day.
Women’s Golf Day (WGD) is a global golf initiative launched in 2016 to introduce women of all ages to the game and encourage existing female golfers to “tee it up” in a fun and highly inclusive environment.
The one day, four-hour event, has now taken place in 900 locations in 52 countries since its inception and has introduced thousands of new golfers to the sport while transcending language, culture, religion, and race to celebrate golf, women, and community.
The event saw 29 Kitimat lady golfers play the front nine holes on June 4.
