Swing studio

Aim

We wish to extend our practice facilities by modernising our swing studio and making it a safe and secure environment for all members.

Who are we?

Stocksfield Golf Club is a small, friendly golf club in the heart of rural Northumberland. We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming environment for golfers of all ages and abilities.

We are raising funds to modernise our indoor Swing Studio, creating a safe, secure, and accessible practice facility that members and the wider community can enjoy all year round. With limited outdoor practice facilities and challenging winter weather, an improved indoor space will provide an invaluable resource for coaching, practice, and player development.

Why are we crowdfunding?

We're delighted that Sport England has awarded us a grant of £4,540 towards this project. To unlock this funding, we must raise the remaining £4,540 through crowdfunding.

The upgraded Swing Studio will provide a safe environment where golfers of all abilities can practise, receive coaching, and improve their game regardless of the weather. It will also allow us to introduce winter coaching programmes, training sessions, and friendly winter leagues, helping members stay active throughout the year.

Every donation brings us one step closer to unlocking the full Sport England grant and making this project a reality.

How we'll spend the money raised

The current Swing Studio has a ceiling that is too low for golfers to use the facility safely and comfortably.

The funds raised will be used to:

• Raise the ceiling to provide safe swing clearance.
• Relocate pipework and electrical services.
• Create a modern, secure indoor practice space suitable for golfers of all abilities.

The total project cost is £9,080, with half funded by Sport England once our crowdfunding target is reached.

Community impact

This project is about much more than improving our facilities for members.

Once completed, the Swing Studio will be available to the wider community, including people who are new to golf and those who are not members of the club. It will provide a welcoming, weatherproof space where beginners can learn the fundamentals of the game, experienced golfers can develop their skills, and local coaches can deliver lessons throughout the year.

By investing in this facility, you'll be helping make golf more accessible, encouraging people of all ages and abilities to stay active, build confidence, and enjoy the many social and health benefits the sport offers.
