Golf Instruction

THURSDAY LADIES CLINIC I

This will be a clinic for the less experienced players. We are trying to encourage
those ladies that are working, raising a young family, or just thought golf
was a silly game their grandfather played to get more involved. Come on
out and enjoy meeting a few new faces. There will be plenty of wine and the
instruction will be fun and simple. Our goal is not to make an LPGA golfer, but
to get our members together for some laughs and to help you get ready to
tackle the course.

There will be no make-up sessions. If you cannot attend, please show up 10
minutes early to the following session for a recap. The last night will include
appetizers and drinks after golf.

Space will be limited to the first 30 golf or social members to sign up. This
Clinic has been immensely popular, so be sure to sign up early.

THURSDAY LADIES CLINIC II

be wine, but the instruction will be more personalized and we will be
spending more time on the golf course. We will also spend more time with
on course topics such as: what set of tees to play, how to rake a bunker, club
selection, etiquette, etc. We will also be utilizing video analysis to help you
improve your golf swing.

There will be no make-up sessions. If you cannot attend, please show up 10
minutes early to the following session for a recap. The last night will include

designed for our social members that would like to be a little more involved
in golf. We will have instruction for men, women, and children of all ages. The
instruction will focus on the fundamentals but will be tailored to the needs
of each student. This year we will be spending more time with students on
