A Remarkable 2 Days of Golf & Friendship on the Mornington Peninsula!
Sorrento Golf Club - Day 1 of our Women’s Golf Retreat
It's hard to put into words just how incredible our two-day women's golf retreat on the Mornington Peninsula was last week. From the breathtaking courses to the expert coaching, delicious food, and the wonderful connections we made, it was a retreat to remember. So, let's dive into the highlights of our unforgettable golfing adventure.
The Majestic Courses
Our journey began with the promise of pristine fairways and stunning vistas, and it exceeded all expectations. We had the privilege of playing at the Sorrento Golf Club and The National Golf Club. Both of these courses offered a unique challenge and showcased the natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula.

Private Golf Clinics
One of the standout features of our retreat was the daily private golf clinics. These sessions were led by the incredibly talented PGA Professional, Wendy Dragojlo. Wendy's expertise and passion for the game shone through as she shared invaluable insights and tips with us.
The clinics not only improved our swing mechanics but also boosted our confidence on the course. Wendy's personalised coaching helped us identify and work on our individual strengths and weaknesses. It was an absolute privilege to learn from her, and we left each clinic feeling more confident and capable.
The Art of Putting
A true highlight of our retreat was the invaluable putting clinic. With a variety of drills and exercises, we honed our skills on the greens. The attention to detail and the precision required in putting were beautifully captured in this clinic. It's safe to say that our putting improved enormously over the course of the weekend.
Expert Coaching on the Driving Range
Time spent on the driving range was equally enriching. Wendy provided us with expert coaching tips that improved our overall game. Her keen eye and patient guidance helped us fine-tune our drives, iron shots, and short game. We left the range feeling empowered and ready to take on the course with newfound knowledge.
Gastronomic Delights and Local Wines
Of course, our retreat was not all about golf. The Mornington Peninsula is renowned for its culinary delights and local wines, and we indulged in them wholeheartedly. The sumptuous meals and the exquisite wines added an extra layer of pleasure to our already fantastic retreat.
As we savored the local flavors, we couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to dine in such picturesque surroundings. The shared meals provided the perfect setting for bonding with both new and old AWGN members.
Connecting Across Borders
Speaking of members, our retreat saw golf enthusiasts joining us from both Victoria and New South Wales, and even all the way from Canada! The diversity of backgrounds and experiences enriched our time together. It was heartwarming to see how the love for golf transcends borders and brings people from all corners of the world together.
The Day the Weather Tested Us
While the first day graced us with sunshine and perfect golfing weather, the second day brought an unexpected challenge. Extreme gale winds and sheets of rain coming sideways tested our resilience on the course. But here's the incredible part—no one complained. Instead, we embraced the challenge.
Golf, like life, throws unexpected obstacles at us, and how we face them speaks volumes about our character. Battling the elements together forged a sense of camaraderie that will forever be etched in our hearts. It was a testament to the strength and determination of our AWGN community.
Congratulations to our first day golfers!
The Health Benefits of "Me Time"
In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to forget the importance of taking some "me time" to recharge. Our women's golf retreat was a reminder of how rejuvenating it can be to do something we love, surrounded by like-minded individuals who share our passion.
Golf not only challenges us physically but also provides mental relaxation and a sense of accomplishment. It's a sport that teaches us patience, focus, and resilience—all qualities that can be applied to our everyday lives. As we left the Mornington Peninsula, we carried with us not only improved golf skills but also a renewed sense of well-being and a deeper connection to our fellow AWGN members.
Our two-day women's golf retreat on the Mornington Peninsula was nothing short of spectacular. From the breathtaking courses to the expert coaching, delicious food, and genuine connections we made, it was a weekend filled with gratitude, amazement, and positivity. We overcame challenges together, laughed together, and, most importantly, recharged our spirits doing something we love.
