During daylight savings the Highlands Golf Club will be holding a new social golf competition.

The game is called Sevens Golf and aims to help the time poor as well as the Heart Foundation, with a donation to the charity with every round that is played.

Sevens Golf managing director Bryan Trembath said many people don’t have time to play 18 holes, particularly those that are part of the workforce.

“I am always surprised by the number of people that have been looking for a way to get involved in the sport, but couldn’t find the time or the structure in which to participate,” he said.

“Golf is such a fun and social sport that most people don’t even realise the health benefits from playing a regular round.”

Participants in the event are also catching on to the concept of being able to play their game of golf at a time that suits them.

Sevens Golf is a 9-hole social golf event that is played among groups of friends, family or workmates in teams of seven. No previous golf experience is required with the season beginning from November 9 and continuing through till March 28.
