Adult Golf Clinics

Adult group clinics are designed for the beginner golfer as well as the experienced player. Group clinics are a great way to learn to play golf or keep up with your game and have some fun too. In this program, students will receive professional training in a fun, safe and supportive environment, while improving their golf skills. By continually working on the most important parts of the swing, it can improve how consistently you swing a club and how well you make contact with the ball when you actually play. In fact, it can be easier to work on grip, posture, turning, weight shift, wrist hinge and more while eliminating the pressure of scoring or the worry of where the ball goes on the course.

Instruction will include mechanics of the full swing and short game and may also include a fun game to reinforce the instruction of the day for a little competition too. When it comes to tracking ball flight on the range, students may have the opportunity to use the new Top Tracer pavilion with the #1 Range Technology in Golf. Students may also have access to the Applecross Learning Center with its new Foresight GC Hawk Simulator to experience many of the favorite golf courses around the world.

Short Game instruction will enable golfers to strengthen their skills around the green and build confidence on the course to become a more successful player. We will show you the most effective ways to lower scores by confidently and consistently hitting approach shot onto the greens and provide you with easy techniques to get the ball closer to the hole so you can have more fun playing than ever before. You will also discover shot visualization and learn to make club selection decisions. You will ultimately hit the ball better, farther, and more consistently and have a lot more fun when you get out on the course. Let us show you how!

"Golf is not a sport you should practice just once a week. Those who truly want to succeed, like in every sport, receive continuous gentle tweaking of their game instead of needing to come in for an overhaul which typically needs to be done when we see those who come just once in a blue moon. After looking back on my history of successful students who have received college scholarships or played professional golf, many of them I saw more than once a week and many of them came numerous times each week. If they traveled in from out of town where frequent visits were not possible there was often a sense of urgency to learn, change and improve. This holds true whether the student is an adult or a child. The tendency to default back to old habits will always be there. Keeping a constant eye on things can keep the ship sailing in the right direction." - Eric MacCluen
