• Provide an introduction to the game of golf
• Provide an understanding of the basic terminology, rules & etiquette of golf
• Teach the fundamentals for all five basic golf shots (full swing, putting, chipping, pitching, sand)

Player Development Skill Clinics
SAND
Making Sand a Day at the Beach: This clinic is intended to reduce the fear of playing from the sand and help students learn the basic shots and techniques to get the ball out of the sand and safely back in play.
PUTTING
This clinic focuses on the skills and techniques to improve putting. Program topics include direction and distance control, aiming, grip, and fun games to improve both long and short putts.
PITCHING & CHIPPING
Golfers lose 80% of their shots to par inside of 100 yards. Improving your skills in this range—the chips, pitches, sand, and wedge shots—will undoubtedly lower your scores.
