LEARN TO HIT THE BALL Looking to start playing the game of golf, while meeting others who are looking to do the same? Come enjoy 6 weeks with us learning what you need in order to get started. These lessons will cover 6 sessions on the driving range and one 9-hole session at The Park. These sessions will be used to help you learn the fundamen- tals to a good golf swing (stance, posture, grip, and contact). We will get together once a week to gain an understanding of what creates good contact and how that can help us hit the ball better. At the end of the sessions we will take what we have practiced out onto the golf course. These classes will be restricted to a maximum of 6 players and all Covid safety pre- cautions will be met.

Once the clinics are finished, we will head to The Park and play 9 holes, that way you can receive some real coach- ing on the golf course.
