Golf is a lifelong discipline. Learning the game is an individual journey which can take a different length of lessons for each student. Discussion with the PGA Instructor to build an Individual Lesson Program will be integral to the students success. For a basic Gift Package the buyer should consider 4 Lessons to give the recipient an introduction to the full golf swing.
