Golf is a suitable form of exercise for enthusiasts of all ages and fitness levels. The club plays golf both competitively and as a practice. Technique courses are organized for beginners to more advanced players - everyone is welcome to join in the activity. It's nice to play in a group of like-minded people. During the games, you can network, without even noticing, among construction experts - this is also the help you need in working life.
The golf section organizes friendly matches with other associations. Members participate in the RKL championships. The competitions are held in connection with the RKL summer days and golf has been the most popular sport in them. The club organizes annual championships of its own association.
You can join by contacting the contact person or by registering directly for the event.
“It has been proven that playing golf has significant effects on physical health. Less attention has been paid to what golf does for mental well-being. Professor Taru Feldt, from the Department of Psychology at the University of Jyväskylä, has good news for golfers: “When a player takes to the green, a number of recovery mechanisms are activated. By playing golf, a person promotes recovery from the stresses of everyday life and at the same time increases their well-being.” Golflehti 1/2020
NOTE!
Golfing champions and engineers!
Our activities need more younger players. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, everyone is very welcome to join. Our membership certainly includes working-age players who have not yet participated in our events. In June there are the RKL championships, in July we play against the Tampere association and in August we have our own championships. New faces are needed for all of these. You can receive the division's newsletter by submitting your name and email address to tapio.vuorinen@rit.fi
The association's Golf Championships were held on August 11, 2022 at Keimola Golf's Saras course.
