READ NOWCanning Vale resident Simpson is a member of the Whaleback Warriors, and after a quadruple heart bypass, has not played for six years, but feels confident about playing indoor golf.
She is a life member after 28 years on the committee of WA Women’s Golf League, which has over 1000 affiliated players in 26 clubs in Perth.
Owner Justine Mamootil is offering a discount rate for seniors to play all the golf they want before 10am, seven days a week.
‘We have 21 championship courses like Pebble Beach where 18 holes takes about 2 hours, so we’re looking for any tee-offs before 8am,’ she said.
For information, phone 6258 5935. The centre is at 5 Hughes Street, Canning Vale.
