10-Week Adult Golf Clinic Schedule

Week 1 - Basic Fundamentals

June 2nd, June 4th, June 6th

This is designed for those golfers who are seeking greater consistency and more precision in their ball striking. Every golfer, regardless of playing ability, must have a strong foundation from which to swing. This clinic will touch upon the essential components that must be instilled to promote a solid golf swing.

Week 2 - Full Swing

June 9th, June 11th, June 13th

This class will help you develop a personal plan to improve your full swing. It will help you create 1 swing for 14 clubs rather than 14 swings for 14 clubs!  Learning the fundamentals to a solid swing will include work on your grip, posture, ball position, finish and drills to take it from the driving range to the golf course.

Week 3 - Rules and Etiquette

June 16th, June 18th, June 20th

One of the greatest aspects of golf is that its players govern themselves and respect the rules of the game.  The game is more fun and rewarding when you play within the rules.  Golf is governed by many rules but generally a few basic rules apply to most situations.  As a PGA Pro I will teach you how to 1. Play the course as you find it, 2. Play the ball as it lies, and 3. Play fairly.

Week 4 - Iron Play

June 23rd, June 25th, June 27th

This clinic specializes in helping you gain more consistency, hit more greens, and lower your score through better iron play. Learn to hit crisper iron shots that land softly on the green while traveling the proper distance.

Week 5 - Wedge Play

June 30th, July 2nd, July 4th

Ever notice that Touring Professionals seem to hit their wedge shots effortlessly and close to the hole, while amateurs struggle, hitting wedge shots fat, thin, with poor direction and distance control. While understanding how far you hit each club is important, it is crucial to know the distance your typical wedge shots travel. This clinic will help you calculate these measurements while also emphasizing the importance of swing length as well as setting up with proper ball position.

Week 6 - Pitching, Chipping & Bunkers

July 14th, July 16th, July 18th

Are you afraid of the sand? Have you ever hit a bunker shot, only to see the ball STILL in the sand after your swing? Do you ever chunk a wedge shot? Learn the secrets of developing a more solid short game. You will learn how to get the ball out of the sand every time, master distance control on your pitch shots, and discover great drills that will help you become fearless around the greens.

Week 7 - Putting

July 21st, July 23rd, July 25th

This is a clinic for those seeking additional help regarding the #1 scoring shot, putting.  The putting clinic will assist players with improving their lag putting, short putting, and ability to read greens. Throughout a typical round, a putter account for 30-50% of the total strokes. Improving your putting is the fastest way to lower your scores.

Week 8 – Hybrids and Fairway Woods

July 28th, July 30th, August 1st

While it is often said the longer the golf club the more difficult it is to hit. This clinic focuses on sweeping fairway woods off the ground while providing greater accuracy with all woods, including new hybrid clubs. Don’t let lengthy golf shots scare you, because it means pulling a headcover off one of your woods. Gain confidence with clubs that are meant to travel a greater distance, helping you take pressure off your short game.

Week 9 – Improve your Drive

August 4th, August 6th, August 8th

This class is designed to improve one the most feared shots in golf: the tee shot. Often referred to as the Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde golf club in student’s bags, I’ll help to take the mystery out of hitting the driver. If you’re looking to increase your distance, accuracy, and confidence off the tee, then this is the class for you! The Improve Your Drive clinic will reinvigorate your game by putting you in the fairway and in position to score.

Week 10 – On-Course with a PGA Pro

August 11th and August 13th

As any seasoned golfer can attest, the game is multifaceted and includes more than just learning the golf swing itself. This comprehensive playing lesson will cover often over-looked components such as course management and various scoring techniques. Ask questions and get answers from a certified Class "A" PGA Professional.
