⛳ A NEW ERA FOR BEN PATTEN GOLF

I’m excited to announce the next chapter for Ben Patten Golf, with coaching now available across two new locations in the Bendigo region.

From this month, you’ll be able to book golf lessons with me at:

🏌️ Axedale Golf Club
📅 Mondays & Fridays

🏌️ Belvoir Park Golf Club
📅 Tuesdays & Thursdays

🏌️ Echuca Back 9
📅 Wednesdays

This is an exciting step forward for Ben Patten Golf and gives golfers even more opportunity to access professional coaching across the week.

Whether you’re a beginner picking up a club for the first time, a junior developing your game, or an experienced golfer looking to lower your scores, my focus remains the same - personalised coaching, clear direction and helping every golfer improve.

Lessons will include personalised coaching, swing analysis, practical drills and a CoachNow video recap and lesson summary so you can continue working on your game after every session.

I’m incredibly excited about what’s ahead and grateful to Axedale Golf Club and Belvoir Park Golf Club for welcoming Ben Patten Golf.

Two new locations. More coaching opportunities.

Well it seems like im not the best cricketer in the family either 😅😘😘❤️🖤

🏏 VCCL TEAM OF THE YEAR — Kacey Heywood 🔴⚫

A huge congratulations to Kacey Heywood on her selection in the VCCL Team of the Year for 2025/26! 👏

It’s fantastic recognition for Kacey after an outstanding first season at White Hills, where she made an immediate impact with both bat and gloves.

-342 runs @ 38.00
-9 catches
-6 stumpings

Making the achievement even more special, Kacey was the only Bendigo women’s cricketer selected in the side!

An incredible individual achievement and one that is thoroughly deserved after such a brilliant first year in the red and black.

We couldn’t be prouder of you, Kacey! ❤️🖤

❓ JUNIOR GOLF SERIES FAQ ❓

We’ve had a couple of great questions about the Ben Patten Golf Junior Golf Series, so here are the answers!

🏌️ My child has a GA Handicap. Is this series open to them?
Absolutely! In fact, it's a fantastic opportunity for junior golfers with a handicap to gain valuable competition experience. The series allows them to compete and test their skills against other juniors with handicaps.

🏆 Does my child need to commit to all the events?
No. Juniors can play in as many or as few events as they like. Whether your child wants to experience just one event or compete throughout the entire series, they're welcome to join in.
There is an overall Junior Golf Series Champion awarded at the end of the season to the player who accumulates the most points across the series. The more times you play, the more points you can accumulate. There are prizes for each individual event.

📅 Entries are now open for Round 1 at Numurkah Golf Club.
