As part of The R&A’s GolfIt! and golf development initiatives, golf lessons and activities were available for people of all ages and skill levels, including mini-golf and putting challenges for those not yet ready to swing a golf club. The design also integrated a variety of family-friendly, non-golf activities, including e-sports, immersive virtual reality experiences and panel discussions led by influential women from the realms of sports, culture, business and entertainment.
In addition to these activities, the scheme featured various styles of food and drink stalls to accommodate those watching live golf on large screens in the centre of the village. Here, attendees could comfortably sit on deck chairs and bean bags while enjoying the celebration of women’s sport, which included screenings of all four quarter-finals of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, in addition to the on-course golfing action.
After the close of play on Saturday night, the entertainment continued with a concert by the award-winning British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, marking the debut of live music at the Championship.
