Advanced Beginners - $85.00

This series of four 1-hour lessons builds upon the fundamentals learned in the Beginners series.

Intermediates - $85.00

This series of four 1-hour lessons focuses upon learning more about your golf game. Club selection and golf course management will be discussed. In addition to reviewing the full swing, students will learn such specialty shots as uneven lies, deep rough and bunker challenges. One session will be devoted to video analysis of students’ swings. This class is designed for students who have participated in the Advanced Beginners series, or who play regularly and want to improve their games.
