Saturday's final round is Individual Match Play. All gentlemen are invited and encouraged to play and if you do not currently have a locker, you'll be randomly paired with a team.

Get Golf Ready Level 2 - Final Program of 2010 November 30 - December 3

After the over whelming success of Get Golf Ready, we found there were those out there who wanted more. More time with instructors, More questions about different shots, More about course management, More...



Get Golf Ready Level 2 is a 4 day intensive program to give the average golfer, from a 18 handicap on up, more of what they had asked.



Day 1 consists of videoing your swing. A copy is provided for you to take home and see what is happening or not happening with your swing. Also, day one is devoted to putting and the fundamentals of the full swing.



Day 2's instruction is focused on the Tee Shot-Driver and wedge play.



Day 3 is all about Short game; chipping, pitching, and greenside bunker. Also, the fairway bunker shot is added.



Day 4 is On-Course. You will be out on the course with one of our staff to play and to discuss different shots and course management.



Everyone and anyone are welcome and class size is limited to 8 students with 2 instructors.



Please call the Pro shop, 768-2529, if interested...there are 2 spots left in this program and the cost is but $199.



Adult Clinics

Every Tuesday from 9:30 - 10:30 the professional staff conducts a short game clinic on pitching, chipping, putting, and bunker play. One week, we focus on chipping and putting. The next week, we focus on pitching and bunker. So, if you are beginner or just need a tune-up on the short game, call the Golf Shop, 768-2529, to sign up. The cost is $15.



On Thursdays from 9:30- 10:30 and Saturdays from 11 -12, the professional staff conducts a 1 hour clinic devoted to the full swing. This is a great way for you and your guests to get quality instruction prior to playing or just to hone your skills. Whatever your playing level, the full swing clinic can aid your swing development. The cost is $15.00
