⛳ Introducing RIV Golf – Learn. Play. Connect.
We’re excited to launch RIV Golf, a new community golf initiative proudly supported by the Riverland Golf Association and delivered by JC Golf.
The program has been crafted by our PGA Professional Jamie Clutterham and keen Riverland golfer Melissa Miegel. Along the journey we envisage some great golfing times but also some different events both on and off course. Overall we hope to create a truly inclusive culture, one where people are encouraged and welcomed.
Whether you’re completely new to golf, returning to the game, or looking to improve your skills while meeting great people, RIV Golf has been created to provide a fun, welcoming and supportive environment for golfers of all abilities.
🟢 RIV Golf Learning
Our 2-hour coaching sessions are designed to build confidence and develop a solid understanding of the game. You’ll learn:
* Posture and setup
* How the golf motor pattern works
* Chipping and pitching fundamentals
* Full swing basics
Our goal is simple—to help you enjoy the game while learning skills that last a lifetime.
🔵 RIV Golf Play
Learning is only part of the journey. After each coaching session, participants are invited to stay and enjoy an optional social round of 3–6 holes. It’s the perfect opportunity to put your new skills into practice, meet fellow golfers, and finish with a drink and chat in the clubhouse.
🟠 RIV Golf Events
As our community grows, so will the opportunities. Throughout the year we’ll introduce fun events, social competitions, clinics and special golf experiences designed to bring our golfing community together.
Whether you’re chasing improvement, looking for new playing partners, or simply wanting to become part of a welcoming golf community, RIV Golf is for you.
