Oakleigh Public Golf Course

💜 Show Your Colours!

At BlueFit, our purpose is Inspiring Community Activity, and that starts with building spaces where absolutely everyone feels safe to participate and play.

On Friday, 28th August, we are inviting all our amazing staff and members to stand out, roll up their sleeves, and wear purple for Wear It Purple Day!

This year’s theme, Colours of Courage, reminds us that bravery isn't always loud. It’s found in the everyday choices to live proudly, stand beside a friend, and invite others into understanding and acceptance.

Whether you are hitting our gyms, pools, stadiums, or courses, throw on a purple shirt, socks, or wristband! Let’s flood our facilities with colour and ensure everyone who walks through our doors knows they truly belong.

👉 Save the date, prep your purple gear, and let’s move and grow together!

⛳ Choosing Your First Putter? Start Here.

One of the biggest mistakes beginner golfers make is choosing a putter based on looks alone. The right putter should help you feel confident, comfortable, and consistent on the greens.

Here are 3 things every beginner should consider:

✅ Head Style – Mallet putters are often more forgiving and can help improve alignment, making them a great option for new golfers.

✅ Length – A putter that fits your height and setup can make a huge difference in your stroke and consistency.

✅ Feel & Comfort – The best putter is the one that feels natural in your hands and gives you confidence over every putt.

Remember, putting accounts for nearly half of your shots during a round. Investing time in finding the right putter can help lower scores faster than most golfers realize.

⛳ Hole 2 at Oakleigh Golf Course.

Simple on Paper, Challenging in Reality!

The second hole at Oakleigh Golf Course is a great reminder that golf isn't always about power it's about precision.

A well placed tee shot sets up your approach, but miss your target and you'll quickly find yourself scrambling to save par. The key is staying committed to your shot and focusing on position rather than distance.

For many golfers, Hole 2 is where the round really begins. It tests your course management, rewards smart decisions, and can build confidence early if played correctly.

🏌️‍♂️ Our tip: Pick a clear target, trust your swing, and don't let an early mistake affect the rest of your round.

⛳ Are You Wearing the Right Golf Shoes?

When golfers think about improving their game, they often focus on clubs, lessons, or practice. But one of the most overlooked pieces of equipment is what's on your feet.

The right golf shoes can make a huge difference by providing:

✅ Better stability throughout your swing
✅ Improved traction on wet or uneven surfaces
✅ Greater comfort during a 4+ hour round
✅ Reduced fatigue, helping you stay focused until the final hole

When choosing golf shoes, consider comfort first, followed by fit, support, and the conditions you usually play in. A shoe that feels great in the shop should feel even better after 18 holes.

Whether you prefer spiked or spikeless, the best golf shoe is the one that helps you feel balanced, confident, and comfortable on every shot.

⛳ Hole 1 at Oakleigh Golf Course: A Great Start for Beginners!

Hole 1 is the perfect introduction to your round at Oakleigh Golf Course. For beginner golfers, the key here is keeping it simple and stress free.

🏌️‍♀️ Off the tee: Choose a club you’re confident with, there’s no need to go full power. A smooth, controlled swing aimed for the middle of the fairway will set you up nicely.

🎯 Your approach: Focus on advancing the ball safely rather than chasing distance. Staying clear of trouble is more important than reaching the green in one.

🟢 Around the green: Take your time, trust your short game, and enjoy easing into the round.

Hole 1 is all about building confidence and finding your rhythm, play smart, play relaxed, and let your round unfold from there.

Golf is a game built on integrity, respect, and consideration for others. While skill and strategy are important, proper etiquette is what truly defines the experience on the course! 🌟

Here are a few key reminders that keep the game enjoyable for everyone:

- Respect Concentration: Remain still and quiet when others are preparing to hit. Small distractions can have a big impact.
- Maintain Pace of Play: Be ready for your turn, limit unnecessary delays, and keep up with the group ahead. Efficient play ensures everyone enjoys their round.

⛳️ Care for the Course:

- Repair ball marks, replace or fill divots, and rake bunkers after use. Taking care of the course preserves its condition for all players.
- Practice Safety and Awareness: Be mindful of your surroundings and the position of others before taking a swing.
- Demonstrate Sportsmanship: Golf is rooted in honesty and respect. Adhering to the rules and showing courtesy reflects well on both you and the game.

👏 Strong etiquette enhances the pace, atmosphere, and overall enjoyment of every round. When players uphold these standards, the game is better for everyone involved!
