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.

Learning Adult Golf(LAG) Clinics for 2025
,Purpose: To take players through a program preparing them for the golf season. There will be 1, 90 minute session a week for 6 weeks(9 hours in total). Players focus on short game(putting, chipping, pitching, sand play), full swing (irons and hybrids), and drivers and fairway woods. At least 3 hours will be on course.
Benefits: Players will learn how to practice in this program. Instructors will work with the students to correct and perform sound fundamentals. Students will learn practice drills, exercises, and games to implement improvement through fun learning. This course is designed to teach players how to practice individually so that improvement can be obtained during individual practice sessions.
Included in the clinic: 9 hours of instruction, 6 range baskets for individual practice, some etiquette and rules coverage, along with the basics to break down the apprehension accompanying booking tee times and playing at pace. The class environment is a great opportunity to foster a social golf networking list to connect players to practice and play together.
Summary: This is a 6 week program where students will need to commit to all sessions. Mondays are from 2:30-4, and Thursdays are from 5:30-7 in Spring. Summer and Fall Program times are yet to be determined. There are 6 total sessions. There will be make-up sessions for inclement weather only not for individual absences. You may switch or do a make-up session on Monday, early afternoon, or Thursday, late afternoon, in the event that you cannot make a session.
