Golf for Beginners
Are you tired of being left at the office when everyone else goes to play golf? Or are you the driver of the beverage cart in the company tournament? This is your time for a change! Sign up for beginning golf and you too can be on the links having fun and networking with your peers. This class is designed for the total beginner and a great review for those who need to brush up on the fundamentals. We will cover the short game of chipping, pitching, and putting, as well as the full swing with irons and woods. We will also cover the equipment needed to play, course management, and enough golf etiquette to make it safe to send you out to play on the golf course. All classes are taught by qualified and enthusiastic PGA or LPGA golf professionals. Sign up early - space is limited! The student-teacher ratio is 7 to 1, so you will get plenty of individual attention. If you have to miss a class you will be able to make it up in another class. We will provide all the equipment needed as well as coupons for practice and play.
