CLINICS
Beginner Ladies’ Golf
This Introduction to Golf Program conducted by PGA Director of Golf, Leslye Dyke, is student-centered to guide new, or relatively new, female golfers through a comprehensive “Welcome to Golf” program. You will take your first step in your journey to learn, play, and enjoy the game of golf. The emphasis initially will not be placed so much on the mechanics of the game, but an introduction to and understanding of it in a pressure-free environment. The eventual goal is to become comfortable playing on the golf course, as well as have a clear understanding of the common rules and etiquette, all while developing friendships with fellow members during the process.
The program includes instruction in the following:
• Putting
• Chipping
• Pitching
• Bunker Play
• Full Swing
• Course Management
• Rules and Etiquette
Leslye Dyke, PGA - Director of Golf
Equipment will be provided if needed. Sessions are 90 minutes each with the first half being discussion on Rules, Etiquette, Q and A, etc., and the second half focusing on a specific mechanic of the game. Once all skills are covered, more instruction will be spent on the golf course.
Details
Mid-November through April 2025
Sessions are 90 minutes and limited to 10 participants $60 per session
