Golf is all too often seen as attracting a certain sort of player. But when I started to learn, I was soon welcomed into the club, says Genelle Aldred

There are so many ways to learn to play and join a club and while I can’t pretend it’s cheap, it’s not as elitist as you might think. I have met so many interesting people since I started playing. Yes, some of them are wealthy, but some are not – and then there’s me, definitely not rich. Academies and schemes like Gateway to Golf andand Girls Week help with entry to the world of golf and beginners get to learn the basics with other newbies.
Networking was one aspect that my mentors – former England football international Cyrille and his wife Julia Regis – enthused about seven years ago. So I went along to their club dinners and really enjoyed it. After that I did a Gateway to Golf course, but struggled to take it further as I was also reading the news at ITV Central and getting up in the middle of the night for 4.30am starts. The timing was less than ideal.
