8-Week Adult Golf Clinic Schedule

 


Week 1 - Basic Fundamentals

June 8th and June 10th

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 15th and June 17th

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 - Putting

June 22nd and June 24th

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 4 – Improve your Drive

June 29th and July 1st

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 5 – Hybrids and Fairway Woods

July 6th and July 8th

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 6 - Iron Play

July 13th and July 15th

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 7 - Wedge Play

July 20th and July 22nd

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 8 - Pitching, Chipping & Bunkers

July 27th and July 29th

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.
