Meet Your Coach
Serrin Bertino
Hi, I’m Serrin, and I’m here to help you fall in love with golf!
I’ve played my whole life, from national-level competition to relaxed rounds with friends and family.
The beauty of golf? You can enjoy it how you like – play your way!
As a certified Golf Australia Get into Golf instructor, I'm here to arm you with the basic skills and confidence to enjoy the game at your own pace—no stress, just a steady stream of progress.
Besides being an instructor, I juggle life as a busy working mum with two kiddos and a husband who works shifts. Trust me, I understand the delightful chaos of life! That’s why my sessions are crafted to fit seamlessly into your whirlwind days, whether you're a regular on the greens or just sneaking in a swing now and then.
Get ready for an atmosphere bursting with positivity: fun, laid-back sessions packed with chatter, laughter, and heaps of little victories. You’ll leave not only with the skills to tackle the course but with a treasure trove of delightful memories.
Are you ready to tee off on this joyful journey? Let’s tee up a time!

Play Your Way
My sessions are designed to work around real life—whether you’re a regular on the greens or just squeezing in a swing between school runs, work and everything in between. Here’s how you can play.
-
No long-term commitment, just jump into a pop-up clinic when it suits you. Each session focuses on a different skill;
- Full swing and drivers
- Putting and chipping
- Pitching and bunkers
Pick your session, show up, swing away!
See upcoming pop-clinics and book below.
Pop-Up Clinics
-
Commit to a fun 4 or 6-week series covering all the basic skills to get you started!
Throughout the series you’ll have the chance to learn, practice and build on your skills each session, so you can feel more comfortable picking up a club and giving golf a go.
A little commitment, a lot more confidence.
See upcoming clinics and book below.
Series of Clinics

Book a private group session for birthdays, hens, work X-mas functions or just because! Catering and drinks, yes please!
Bring your group, tell us what you’re celebrating and we’ll customise a golf session that works for you. No golf experience required, just a crew who are keen to have some fun.
Let’s customise a session for you.

Got the basics but not sure how to take it to the course?
Be guided through strategy, etiquette and navigating the course with confidence! We’ll take the pressure off those first few rounds and help you understand what actually happens once you step onto the course.
Let’s play some holes and put those skills into practice. Groups of 4 ideal.

Currently Metung Country Club is Gippsland Golf’s main base, however we are not called Gippsland Golf for no reason … stay tuned as we intend to provide fun golfing opportunities to women across East Gippsland.
A NoteDear East Gippsland golf clubs and PGA Members,
Good news! Gippsland Golf is here to recruit new women to our wonderful game across East Gippsland.
We are about empowering women to start golf, before handing them over to you as clubs and PGA professionals to keep them playing whether that be as green-fee players or members.

Gippsland Golf can also provide support to PGA professionals to extend their program offerings and assist the facility in increasing community involvement and membership at the club.
