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 launched.
The inaugural event, hosted at Sawmill, welcomed a small, all-female group for a stress-free 9-hole round without 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, and the Women's Try Golf Series has grown into a province-wide experience, with over 100 events, including Winter Indoor Sessions and Regional Fall Golf Days.
Responding to demand, Sawmill introduced the #SheSwingsSeries in 2024. This program teaches women the basics of golf so that they can confidently play on the course. The #SheSwingsSeries promises a fun journey into the world of golf for our newest enthusiasts.
